First on-load tap-changer based on the resistor principle<\/h3>\n

In the 1920s, ener\u00adgy sup\u00adpli\u00aders were call\u00ading for a way to reg\u00adu\u00adlate volt\u00adage more quick\u00adly. Trans\u00adform\u00aders still had to be tak\u00aden off the grid in order to change the trans\u00admis\u00adsion ratio. Was there a way to switch under load? Dr. Jansen had the idea, and Maschi\u00adnen\u00adfab\u00adrik Rein\u00adhausen had the skills to put it into prac\u00adtice. The result was the world\u2019s first pro\u00adto\u00adtype for a high-speed resis\u00adtor-type tap-chang\u00ader for inter\u00adrup\u00adtion-free switch\u00ading under load. <\/p>\n

Patent appli\u00adca\u00adtion: in 1928 and 1929, three patents were pub\u00adlished \/ pecial fea\u00adture: 14 oper\u00adat\u00ading posi\u00adtions with change-over selec\u00adtor, max. 1.1 kV<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

First tap changer with \u201ctube design\u201d
\n(selector-switch principle)<\/h3>\n

To begin with, the tap chang\u00aders were con\u00adstruct\u00aded from divert\u00ader switch\u00ades based on the tog\u00adgle-lever prin\u00adci\u00adple (see pic\u00adture) and sep\u00ada\u00adrate selec\u00adtors. With the type C, how\u00adev\u00ader, Maschi\u00adnen\u00adfab\u00adrik Rein\u00adhausen com\u00adbined the com\u00adpo\u00adnents in one hous\u00ading (tube) with a rotat\u00ading con\u00adtact sys\u00adtem for the first time. This design was more com\u00adpact and enabled eas\u00adi\u00ader main\u00adte\u00adnance, and meant that the divert\u00ader switch was locat\u00aded inside the trans\u00adformer, pro\u00adtect\u00ading it from the weath\u00ader. <\/p>\n

Approx. 8,770 units pro\u00adduced \/ High\u00adest volt\u00adage for equip\u00adment: 30 kV, then extend\u00aded to 66 kV<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

First on-load tap-changer with separate diverter switch and selector<\/h3>\n

Even before the Sec\u00adond World War, Maschi\u00adnen\u00adfab\u00adrik Rein\u00adhausen was already pro\u00adduc\u00ading the type C on a small scale as well as com\u00ading up with more and more inno\u00adva\u00adtions. At the end of the 1930s, the Scheubeck broth\u00aders pro\u00adduced the first pro\u00adto\u00adtypes of the type D as an on-load tap-chang\u00ader with a sep\u00ada\u00adrate divert\u00ader switch and selec\u00adtor. This mod\u00adel went into small-scale pro\u00adduc\u00adtion in 1943. It already fea\u00adtured a rotat\u00ading con\u00adtact sys\u00adtem as well. <\/p>\n

First series production for the global market<\/h3>\n

Rein\u00adhausen respond\u00aded to the suc\u00adcess of the type D and grow\u00ading inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal demand with the OILTAP\u00ae M. It fea\u00adtured many machine-pro\u00adduced com\u00adpo\u00adnents, enabling a more com\u00adpact design and high\u00ader pro\u00adduc\u00adtion vol\u00adumes. One of the inno\u00adva\u00adtions of the OILTAP\u00ae M was its oil com\u00adpart\u00adment: From the end of the 1970s onward, this was made from GRP (glass-rein\u00adforced plas\u00adtic) rather than lam\u00adi\u00adnat\u00aded paper. Rein\u00adhausen was the first
\nman\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00ader to use this inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal for its on-load tap-chang\u00ader.<\/p>\n

First semiconductor tap changer<\/h3>\n

The OILTAP\u00ae M may have been main\u00adte\u00adnance-free up to 50,000 switch\u00ading oper\u00ada\u00adtions, but when used in smelters with over 300,000 switch\u00ading oper\u00ada\u00adtions per year, that still means main\u00adte\u00adnance needs to be per\u00adformed up to six times a year with up to four con\u00adtact changes. To enable wear-free switch\u00ading oper\u00ada\u00adtions, Rein\u00adhausen built the first hybrid tap chang\u00ader with a pow\u00ader elec\u00adtron\u00adic divert\u00ader switch for the Argen\u00adti\u00e8re alu\u00adminum smelter in France in 1974.

The VACUTAP\u00ae RMV was not only the first tap chang\u00ader for Rein\u00adhausen with a reac\u00adtor as tran\u00adsi\u00adtion imped\u00adance, but also marked the company\u2019s first steps into the world of vac\u00adu\u00adum switch\u00ading tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy.<\/p>\n

Dry or cast-resin trans\u00adform\u00aders are used in sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions where oil is pro\u00adhib\u00adit\u00aded for fire-safe\u00adty or nature-con\u00adser\u00adva\u00adtion rea\u00adsons.

First resistor-type tap-changer with vacuum technology for oil-filled transformers<\/h3>\n

With vac\u00adu\u00adum-switch\u00ading tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy, there is no arc\u00ading in the tap-chang\u00ader oil, which results in less con\u00adt\u00ada\u00adm\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and max\u00adi\u00admizes the ser\u00advice life. These advan\u00adtages con\u00advinced Rein\u00adhausen to move into vac\u00adu\u00adum-switch\u00ading tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy for high-speed resis\u00adtor-type tap-chang\u00aders as well. With the launch of the VACUTAP\u00ae VV\u00ae in 2000, Rein\u00adhausen was the first man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00ader to bring vac\u00adu\u00adum-switch\u00ading tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy to series pro\u00adduc\u00adtion for instal\u00adla\u00adtion inside oil-filled trans\u00adform\u00aders. The divert\u00ader switch and selec\u00adtor are inte\u00adgrat\u00aded in an oil com\u00adpart\u00adment.

First series solution for voltage regulation distribution transformers<\/h3>\n

As more and more small-scale pro\u00adduc\u00aders of renew\u00adable ener\u00adgy start\u00aded to feed into the grid, it became more impor\u00adtant to be able to reg\u00adu\u00adlate the Dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion net\u00adworks as well.
