Our new generation of tap-changers utilize the most recent from developing technical solutions. ABB offers a full range of
vacuum interrupter technology. This design philosophy allows products for both high voltage and low voltage regulation. Our
the arcs during load commutations to occur in vacuum tap-changers are paired with robust, dependable motor drives
interrupters and not in the tap-changer oil. This greatly that are configurable to meet a wide range of environmental
reduces the need for maintenance and creates the potential conditions and customer specifications. From the compact
for using environmental-friendly insulating fluids. Final product BUL and versatile BUE for in-tank tap changers to the digitally
dependability is ensured through extensive testing beyond controlled SMD with integrated Tap Logic Monitoring System
international standards combined with decades of experience (TLMS) for the type VRLTC tap-changer.
Unsurpassed simplicity, convenient accessibility and Our tap-changers are matched with trustworthy, rugged
no requirements for special tools is the hallmark of our motor drives that are configurable to meet a wide range of
conventional tap-changers. ABB‘s customer-focused design environmental conditions and customer specifications. From
philosophy has stood the test of time for over 100 years and the compact BUL and versatile BUE for in-tank tap changer
resulted in designs with fewer parts and lower maintenance models to the fully integrated BUF for the type UZ on-tank
costs. In addition to increased reliability, tap-changers with tap-changer.
fewer parts allow for considerable reduction in size and cost.

ABB‘s de-energized tap-changers the preferred solution 1050 kV BIL. And, with little to no required maintenance, our
by transformer manufacturers worldwide. Multiple deck designs have proven to be an ideal solution to both utility and
arrangements make our designs the most space saving de- industrial customers.
De-energized tap-changer, type DTU De-energized tap-changer, type DTL De-energized tap-changer, type DTW
We are committed to stand behind our products for as long as they are in operation. Product support, documentation and
training is therefore essential. This includes immediate availability of parts for all models, 24-hour access to support personnel
and the existence of a global reporting network.
Some of our UC tap-changer types are possible to upgrade without the need to rebuild; they can be upgraded with vacuum
technology as quickly and as easily as performing a normal overhaul. In many cases this makes it possible to increase the tap-
changers nominal load and at the same time benefit from all the advantages associated with vacuum technology.
