Service life 

The 'SERVICE LIFE' menu, which combines all of the service lives (transformer, fan, pumps), 
is accessed from the 'MONITOR' main menu by pressing <F2>. 

 

 

 

Operating hours (1)  

4.3.1

'Operating  hours  1'  displays  the  accumulated  operating  hours  for  the  transformer  (trans-
former  under  voltage),  the  tap  changer  and  the  oil  pump.  The  operating  hours  for  the 
transformer and the tap changer are different because only the hours that the motor is in 
operation are measured for the tap changer. The 'Operating light time' is used as an indica-
tor  of  the  tap  changer's  operating  hours.  This  means  that  the  service  life  counter  is  only 
active for the tap changer if a binary input is configured as 'TC in operation' (07:TC.i.Op). 

The counter value does not change if an input is configured but no 'TC in operation' signal 
connected. If a binary input is not configured, the program uses the 'Maximum Time TC in 
operation' setting in the Controller's SETUP 5 menu (Functions..., F1). 

In this case, the tap changer's service life counter is incremented by the preset time when 
the controller issues a control command. 

The  transformer's  operating  hours  are  recorded  by  default  if  a  voltage  on  the  secondary 
page is set to 'Transformer in operation'. 

This  approach  can  produce  incorrect  results  (see  Figure  7)  based  on  the  location  of  the 
voltage transducer. 

In any case, measuring the primary voltage of the transformer will produce correct results. 
The firmware characteristic 'Three winding' can be used to activate a second voltage chan-
nel that measures the primary voltage. The second voltage input is always present and in 
principle available for this task when the controller is equipped with hardware Characteris-
tic 'M9'. In all other cases, the regulator – if the primary voltage is to be measured – must 
be sent in for modification. 

If software feature 'Three winding' is activated (only possible in combination with hardware 
Characteristic M9), the operating hour count is derived from the primary voltage. 

If  the  feature  'Three  winding'  is  not  activated,  the  operating  hours  are  derived  from  the 
transformer's secondary voltage,  which  -  as mentioned above  -  can produce  incorrect  re-
sults based on the location of the voltage transducer. 

Figure 7 shows an application in which two transformers are fed from a bus bar.
