3.2 Drive shaft
3.2.1 Function description
The drive shaft is the mechanical connection between the drive and the on-
load tap-changer/de-energized tap-changer.
The bevel gear changes the direction from vertical to horizontal.
Accordingly, the vertical drive shaft has to be mounted between drive and
bevel gear, and the horizontal drive shaft between bevel gear and on-load
tap-changer or de-energized tap-changer.
