The switching principle of thyristor assistant arc extinguishing hybrid on-load tap-changer

Thyristor assistant arc extinguishing hybrid on-load tapchanger uses thyristor auxiliary mechanical switch which combines the advantages of mechanical switch and thyristor switch. The hybrid OLTC has high reliability, a relatively small amount of work needs to be maintained. It is a kind of very promising transformer OLTC. This project focus on the application of the hybrid OLTC in 110, 220kV transformer, introduces the auxiliary thyristor arc hybrid on-load tap-changer principle of passive trigger with odd block switch to even block as an example, describes the hybrid on-load tap-changer switching process, and the switching principle of simulation verification, on the basis of summarizing the characteristics of hybrid on-load tap-changer.
