Abstract
The invention relates to a tap changer for voltage regulation with semiconductor switching components on a regulating transformer having a regulating winding. The tap changer is of a modular design and each module comprises, respectively, one partial winding of the regulating winding that is connectable or disconnectable by means of semiconductor switching components. Varistors and capacitors are additionally integrated for protecting the semiconductor switching components against high voltages.
