The VUC types of on-load tap changers come in various models with ratings suitable for most applications. They are mounted inside the transformer tank and suspended from the transformer cover. The VUC types operate with arc quenching in vacuum interrupters.

The VUC types complete the UC family of tap changers with their excellent service record since the 1960s.

The VUCL is the largest of the VUC types and is suitable for transformers up to 2300 MVA with a BIL rating of 1175 kV and a current rating of 1600 A when placed in the neutral point of the winding.

Product scope

  • Base technology: Vacuum, resistance, in-tank, diverter switch
  • Common applications: Network, special, industrial, HVDC

Why Hitachi Energy?

  • Plug-and-play interchangeability with traditional type UCL only requires diverter switch replacement
  • Unique design with redundant switching capacity in the auxiliary contact system
  • Maintenance in any tap position and without dismantling the shaft system, thus eliminating the risk for failure from improper assembly or alignment
  • Possible to use alternative insulating fluids
