An on-load tap-changer uninterruptedly switches between winding taps of a tap-changing transformer. The on-load tap-changer has: a diverter switch that switches over from a first to a second fixed contact; and a selector that powerlessly preselects the fixed contacts and has a first and second selector arm that are actuated independently and contact each of the fixed contacts. The diverter switch has: a main path with a mechanical switching element that connects the first selector arm to a load take-off lead; a first auxiliary path with a first semiconductor switching element that is parallel to the main path and connects the first selector arm to the load take-off lead, and a second auxiliary path with a second semiconductor switching element that connect the second selector arm to the load take-off lead.

An on-load tap-changer for switching, without interruption, between winding taps of a tap-changing transformer, including a diverter switch for performing a switch-over from a first to a second fixed contact, a selector for preselecting, without power, the first and second fixed contact, and a first controller, wherein the diverter switch has a plurality of semiconductor and mechanical switching elements, the selector has a first and second selector arm, which are actuatable independently of one another and can contact each of the fixed contacts, and the first controller is configured to trigger a switch command and to actuate the first and second selector arm and the plurality of mechanical switching elements by a motor drive, wherein the on-load tap changer includes a second controller to actuate the plurality of semiconductor switching elements, and wherein during the switch-over the first controller actuates the motor drive depending on the second controller.

An on-load tap-changer switches, without interruption, between winding taps of a tapped transformer. The on-load tap-changer includes fixed contacts, which include a first fixed contact, which is configured to connect to a first winding tap of the tapped transformer; and a second fixed contact, which is configured to connect to a second winding tap of the tapped transformer. The on-load tap-changer also includes a first selector arm, which is configured such that it can contact each of the fixed contacts; a second selector arm, which is configured such that it can contact each of the fixed contacts; and a diverter switch configured to perform a switch from the first fixed contact to the second fixed contact of the on-load tap-changer; a connection contact arranged additionally to the fixed contacts; and an auxiliary contact, which configured to selectively contact the connection contact or one of the fixed contacts.

An on-load tap-changer of a tap-changing transformer has a switch. The switch has: a take-off contact; a primary fixed contact; and a contact unit. The contact unit has a moving contact, a first arcing contact and a second arcing contact. These contacts are pivotable about a pivot axis during a switchover process such that the contacts assume a first position, in which they make contact with the take-off contact and the primary fixed contact, and a second position, in which they are separated from the take-off contact and the primary fixed contact. The second arcing contact assumes the first position before the first arcing contact when switching over from the second position to the first position and leaves the first position after the first arcing contact when switching over from the first position to the second position.

An on-load tap changer has: a first selector rod and a second selector rod; a load changeover-switch rod; a switch; and a transmission. The first selector rod, the second selector rod and the load changeover-switch rod are arranged collinearly. The transmission is configured to: move the first selector rod and the second selector rod during changeover from one selector contact to an adjacent selector contact in a first direction; and move the load changeover-switch rod during the changeover in the first direction and a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, so as to actuate the switch.

A switch includes a diverter contact; a primary fixed contact; and a secondary fixed contact. The switch additionally includes a primary movable contact configured to be pivoted, relative to the diverter contact and the primary fixed contact, about a pivot axis between a first end position and a second end position. In the first end position, the primary movable contact bears by a first contact point against the diverter contact and by a second contact point against the primary fixed contact. The switch further includes a secondary movable contact configured to be pivoted, relative to the diverter contact and the secondary fixed contact, about the pivot axis between a first end position and a second end position. In the first end position the secondary movable contact bears by a third contact point against the diverter contact and by a fourth contact point against the secondary fixed contact.
