Abstract
A method for actuating an on-load tap-changer with a drive, a sensor and a control device is provided. The control device receives a switching command to actuate the on-load tap-changer. A starting time at which the switching command to actuate the on-load tap-changer was received in the current profile is determined. A temporal offset is added to the starting time to determine a time at which the actuation starts. A time of a next current zero crossing after the time at which the actuation starts is determined. A temporal difference between the time at which the actuation starts and the time of the next current zero crossing is determined. The temporal difference to the starting time in order to determine a new starting time for the actuation therefrom is determined and the actuation of the on-load tap-changer is started at the new starting time by the drive.
