Abstract: A tap changer and a method for measuring a contact sequence of a tap changer is provided. The tap changer includes a cylinder and a shaft that is rotatably arranged inside the cylinder, the cylinder is provided with fixed contacts, the shaft is provided with a contact circuit facing the cylinder and including mechanical contacts, which mechanical contacts are adapted to selectively mate with the fixed contacts of the cylinder upon rotation of the shaft, the contact circuit also includes at least two measuring points for measuring the function of the contact circuit. The tap changer includes at least one measuring contact device, which is electrically connected to the respective measuring points in the contact circuit, and which the measuring contact device is arranged inside the shaft. This facilitates access to the measuring points of the tap changer.

Abstract: A resistor for electric high-voltage apparatus, especially for connection to a diverter switch in an on-load tap changer for a high-voltage transformer. The diverter switch and the resistor are arranged in a housing with transformer oil. The resistor includes a number of resistor elements, wherein each resistor element includes a resistive element, arranged in a frame, which are electrically interconnected by a connection member. The frames are designed to enclose resistive elements that include spring elements formed from spirally wound resistance wire. Connection members include a connection plug. A method of mounting a resistor for electric high-voltage apparatus.
