AI Technical Summary
On-load tap changers (OLTCs) used in mobile conditions are prone to wear at the junction of the housing and fittings, which increases the risk of failure, especially in mobile applications such as offshore floating platforms.
The housing body, made of fiber composite material, is combined with first and second cover assemblies made of metal. The connection between the housing and cover assemblies is ensured by adhesive attachment and press fitting, and the housing remains robust in the face of temperature changes.
It improves the robustness of OLTC under mobile conditions, reduces the risk of wear, and ensures reliable connection and ease of maintenance over a wide temperature range.
