The invention discloses an on-load tap-changer single-
resistor symmetrical transition circuit and a
voltage regulation method. The transition circuit comprises a first main contact, a second main contact, a main vacuum contact, a first auxiliary vacuum contact, a second auxiliary vacuum contact, a first isolation switch, a second isolation switch, a change-over switch and a transition
resistor. Two auxiliary switch elements exist in the transition circuit, interpolar
ring current in the on-load switching process is switched on and off in turn, the switching process is symmetrical, the two auxiliary switch elements are consistent in current switching-on and switching-off tasks, the switching loss of the auxiliary switch elements is reduced, and the switching capacity of the main switch element and the switching capacity of the auxiliary switch elements can be balanced; only one transition
resistor is used in the transition circuit, so that design and installation are facilitated, and the insulation distance is ensured; the two isolation switches are designed, so that an
electrical isolation effect can be achieved, the isolation switches can be used as protection switches of auxiliary switch elements, and the fault that current cannot be
cut off after the auxiliary switch elements fail is prevented.
