This document must not be copied without our written permission, and the
contents thereof must not be imparted to a third party nor be used for any
unauthorized purpose. Contravention will be prosecuted.
Before you order
Check the identification of the on-load tap-changer. The type and serial number are always
required for identification. Check this data on the rating plate on the on-load tap-changer if
you are not sure. Do not try to order spares without this information.
It is very important that you give a complete identification for each and every part you order
to have trouble-free delivery. The lists in this document together with the identification as
described above give you all information required for correct ordering.

WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE

WARNING

 1  Introduction 

1. Introduction
This spare parts list has been compiled to help you with procurement of spares. To obtain
trouble-free deliveries you should note a few things which are explained in the following text.
The breakdown level and general contents of this list have been worked out to cover normal
customer requests. Our spares sales people will be happy to assist if you require any spe-
cific item that is not included in the list.

1.1 Type designation and serial number

The rating plate on the on-load tap-changer shows which type and serial number of the de-
vice you are ordering spares for. It is important to have this information, because the manu-
facture of parts gradually changes as materials and manufacturing technology improves.
ABB makes every effort to supply spares that should fit your requirements. Some parts of
later manufacture than those you are replacing may need some adaptation to fit into your
device. Our spare parts sales people need to know the type designation and serial number
to supply exactly what you require.

1.2 Item number

Item numbers are shown on the drawings and lists. As you will observe, one item number
is used for several items of the same general type. These items have a specific specification
for each and every variant of on-load tap-changer, hence you need to specify type and serial
number in addition to the item number to obtain the appropriate spare.

1.3 Name of item

The name should be specified when ordering to make sure the right type of item is ordered.

1.4 Quantity
The figures given represent the number of items included in one on-load tap-changer.

1.5 Remarks
Information pertinent to different variants of the on-load tap-changer is given in this column.
Your model should be one of those shown.

2  General arrangement

2. General arrangement
The general arrangement of an UBB-type on-load tap-changer is shown in Fig. 1.

2.1 Standard spare parts

The rugged design of ABB on-load tap-changers means that only the fixed and moving
contacts of the selector switch might require replacement during the lifetime of the trans-
former. This spare parts list tells you the part number of the contacts when ordering for your
replacement requirements.

2.2 Special spare parts

If you need parts other than the contacts in the lists, our staff will be happy to assist you.
Please use Fig. 1 as a reference when discussing your requirements. As usual, the type
designation and serial number are essential for ordering.
