Testing Theory
The winding resistance measurement is a standard test performed every time a transformer is tested. Dynamic Resistance
Measurement is a fast-sampling record of the test current in time, while the OLTC changes position. Comparison with
fingerprint results, which were taken when the transformer OLTC was in good condition and to adjacent phases, allows
for an efficient analysis and if no previous test results are present than inter phases comparison is done. Defective selector
contacts could be detected by measuring static resistance in all OLTC positions. Switching problems of a diverter switch
could be detected by recording the dynamic resistance. It is recommended to measure starting from the first position to
final position, and then to compare the measurement results in the same positions. DRM is a new method that is not
widely known around the world. A big advantage of this method is that if there is a problem inside the OLTC, it can often
be identified externally, without opening the OLTC, removing oil from the tank, etc; thus, significantly reducing
maintenance and service costs. The vast variety of OLTC designs, operating methods, regulating winding configurations,
and contact types and materials make analysis very type specific
Detected problems are: burned/coked contacts, bouncing contacts, switchover selector problems, and diverter switch opening of the circuit, and more.
OLTCs consist mostly of two parts: the diverter switch, which diverts the current during transition (tap change) and minimizes arcing, and a tap selector that selects the taped winding connection. Switchover selectors or inverter switches are included in some designs. Figure below shows a schematic of a typical diverter OLTC transition from tap to tap.

Observation and Conclusion
When the transformer was handed over to us it was completely isolated from the system. The winding resistance graph of all three
phases shows typical decreasing trend for all three phases, as no factory or commissioning test results were provided to us therefore
these results will be taken as benchmark values and will be trended over time. However these results show characteristics of healthy
tap changer connections. No loose contacts or open circuit were found during testing. All three phases shows resistance within
acceptable range of 5%. It is pertinent to note that during tap changer operation no deformity in ripple wave form was seen. Motor
current was also measured at each tap change and shows no increase in current than normal.. For LV winding all three phases show
comparable results. A increase in motor current can be seen on w phase, this was tested few times to check if there was any
problem in tap changer but it was not seen again when repeated, this was due to switching on then motor current measuring CT
right before changing the tap and is of no concern. The tap changer has completed 43,000 operations and it is still in healthy
condition. Older tap changers tend to develop faults more quickly than new ones hence it should be tested after 10,000 operations or
one year. Tap changer oil DGA should be done every six months to check if there is any heating or arcing inside the transformer.
