The UC family is a group of diverter switches on-load tap-changers. They come in a wide range of models with a rating suitable for every application. They are mounted inside of the transformer tank, suspended from the transformer cover. The UC types operate with conventional arc quenching in oil diverter switches.
The UCC model is the largest of the UC types and is capable of meeting the most demanding requirements with a BIL rating of 1050 kV and a current rating of 1600 A.
Extend your transformer’s lifetime and easily upgrade to on-load tap-changers type UCC with vacuum technology.
