Introduction
Eaton’s Service Information MN225008EN provides the
installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for its
Cooper Power™ series VR-32 voltage regulator with the
Quik-Drive™ tap-changer. It also contains this information
for the Eaton EVER-Tap™ voltage regulator with the
VACUTAP™ RMV-SVR on-load tap-changer manufactured by
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen™.
Read this manual first
Read and understand the contents of this manual and
follow all locally approved procedures and safety practices
before installing or operating this equipment. Read and
understand the manual detailing the installation and
operation of the control used with this regulator. Refer to
Service Information MN225003EN,
CL-7 Voltage Control
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions
, for
information on the CL-7 voltage regulator control.
Additional information
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in
the equipment, procedures, or processes described nor
provide directions for meeting every possible contingency
during installation, operation, or maintenance. For additional
information, please contact your Eaton representative.
Acceptance and initial inspection
The regulator is thoroughly tested and inspected at the
factory. It is carefully calibrated, adjusted, and in good
condition when accepted by the carrier for shipment.
Upon receipt of the regulator shipment, before unloading, a
thorough inspection should be made for damage, evidence
of rough handling, or shortages. The position indicator,
junction box, arrester, radiators and bushings should all
be inspected for evidence of damage. Should this initial
inspection reveal evidence of rough handling, damage, or
shortages, it should be noted on the bill of lading and a
claim should immediately be made with the carrier. Also,
notify your Eaton representative.
Handling and storage
Be careful during handing and storage of equipment to
minimize the possibility of damage. If the regulator will not
be placed into immediate service, it can be stored with
minimal precautions. Store the unit where the possibility of
mechanical damage is minimized.
WARNING
Equipment Damage . Lift the entire unit only with tank-
mounted lifting lugs . The cover may warp or fracture
and the tank may separate from the cover if the cover-
mounted lifting eyes are used to lift the entire unit
causing death or severe personal injury or equipment
damage .
Unloading
When an overhead crane is used for unloading, the
regulator must be lifted by means of a sling and spreader
bar utilizing the tank-mounted lifting lugs, which are shown
. Do not lift the entire unit with the lifting eyes on
the cover. The lifting eyes are only to be used to untank the
internal assembly that is attached to the cover.
