4.2.1 Control
The motor drive control follows the step-by-step
principle, i.e after the initiation the switching operation
is automatically and irrevocably accomplished
independent of whether the push-buttons S1……S4 have
been operated during the running time of the motor drive.
(emergency stop is an exception). Another switching
operation is only possible when the control system is again
in the rest position. The rest position of the cam switches
controlling the running period is indicated by red center
mark of the tap change indication wheel.
Prerequisite:Motor protective switch Q1must be
closed; the voltage of L1, L2 and L3: AC 380V, 3 phase,
50Hz; Voltage of L1 and N: AC 220V 50 Hz, the

pushbutton, safety switch Q1 will trip via S14(C, NO2),
K1 (41,42), S13 (NC1, NC2) or S12(C, NO2), S13 (NC1,
NC2).
4.2.3.4 Automatic restart protection after control
voltage under temporary de-voltage
If control voltage restore after being disappeared
within the operation time of motor drive unit, the motor
drive unit will restart automatically according to the
controlled direction. Once restarting, the tap changer
action will be performed by the closed direction memory
cam switch S14 or S12. In this case, safety circuit is not
energized, as cam switch S13 (NC1,NC2) has been
opened.

5. ASSEMBLY
5.1 Mounting the motor drive unit to the
transformer tank (see appendix, dimension
drawing).
The motor drive unit is mounted by means of 4 studs
fixed at the sides of transformer tank. The corresponding
bore holes are at the external side of the housing of the
motor drive. Take care that the motor drive unit is mounted
vertical and that its drive shaft is in correct alignment
with the shaft of the bevel gear.
If the transformer causes extremely heavy mechanical
vibrations, the use of vibration dampening connectors is
recommended.

window should be equal in both rotation senses. Minor
asymmetry is admissible. Symmetrical coupling is
achieved as follows:
-Adjustment only with manual operation.
-Tap changer and motor drive have to be in the adjustment
position.
- Couple tap changer and motor drive.
-Turn crank in one direction until selector or diverter
switch action occurs. Count the remaining TIW sections
until the red center mark of the tap change indication
wheel is visible in the middle of the inspection window.
-Repeat this procedure in the opposite direction.
6. Operational test and adjustment
6.1 Preparations
The transformer has been put on utilization site, prior
to operate the tap changer, the motor drive unit shall be
experienced following test:
. Prior to operate, please be sure to familiar with manual
instruction and method of use.
. Prior to use, check whether the signal of the adjusted
position of tap changer, motor drive and the position of
remote control display (accessories) is identical.
. Prior to connect via the power supply, check whether
the wire of all electrical element is loosen, the grounding
blot of motor casing should be grounded safely.
. Prior to operate electrically, check whether the hand
crank is flexible, the switching position and stop position
of tap changer is correct.
. Under the low temperature and dampened condition,
the heater resistor R can’t be used until it has been
powered and heated for some hours. If the switch is
transported to on site and stored over two weeks, R circuit
shall be connected to power supply to avoid being rusted
for condensed dew.
6.2 Electrical operation test
Note: The requirement of operating power supply and
phase sequence (See appendix 2) should be observed!
6.2.1 Checking the step-by-step operation
Press down pushbutton S1 or S2 to make motor drive
run at clockwise (counter-clockwise), and driving motor
is automatically switched off when the tap changer has
HM0.460.003
-If there is a difference between the numbers of sections
counted on both directions, the motor drive must be
readjusted in relation to the tap changer by half this
difference of numbers.
Notes:
The square shaft tube of the vertical drive shaft can
only be coupled to the coupling brackets after a rotation
angle of 90°Ê or multiples . This angle corresponds to
3.75 TIW squares. Readjusting, therefore, becomes
necessary only if the difference necessary only if the
difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise
cranking is in excess of 3.75 TIW sections.
performed one switching operation and the red line and
digital line will be aligned with reference line when
stopped.
During the actual use, the red line on step progress
position indication wheel can’t be aligned with the
reference line, there may exist some deviation between
the lines, if they are still within the green field, it won’t
affect the operation, when the reference line is out of the
green field, it can be adjusted, and the method of
adjustment are as follows: when motor drive is adjusted
up to (down) one step, the red line will appear deviation,
one piece on (or under) cam wheel shall be loosen, adjust
the size of angle, which has been adjusted before ex
factory, user needn’t make any further adjustment.
6.2.2 Checking limit position
The full range tap change until one end position, it is
impossible to keep electrical operation in the same
direction, but it’s possible in the opposite direction, for
the test of another end position, the same procedure is
also applied.
When the end position is reached, the wheel
connection between control and main circuit is achieved
by means of the limit stop block on the limit protection
gear wheel bumping lever, wheel connecting S16 (or S17)
and S6 (or S7) successively.
Thus a. Adjust S16 (position n) or S17 (position 1).
b. Adjust limit stop blocked piece.
To make S16 or S17 start running before completing
tap changing, and S6 or S7 can start running only
exceeding the end position, which has been adjusted
13
before export factory, user needn’t to make any further
adjustment.

Performance introduction of HMK-2 type on-
load voltage-regulating tap changer automatic
controller
HMK-2A type on-load voltage-regulating tap changer
automatic controller can be used for the manual or
automatic control of transformer on-load voltage-
regulating. If the actual voltage of HMK-2A (wire PT
second test voltage) compare with the set voltage, once
the voltage deviate from preset range, it will produce a
“1-N”or “N-1” control signal, thus making on-load tap
changer move from one tap change position to next one.
HMK-2A has unique three voltage indication, which
HM0.460.003
can display signal voltage, upper limit voltage (drop
voltage), lower limit voltage (rise voltage); Step indication
can display the tap position of tap changer; The setting of
voltage can be set to the users’ desired range; The
adjustment range of relay should be 20~180S. HMK-2A
is also supplied with the function of locking “over-
voltage” and “insufficient-voltage”, thus, if there exist
any trouble in power network, HMK-2A will lock
automatically, and the capacity of controller getting rid
of trouble is greatly enhanced. HMK-2A also has the
function of alarm of over-voltage or insufficient voltage.
HMK-2A has the function of over-current blocking and
resistance-compensating.
