VACUTAP® VM® UNIQUELY VERSATILE – UNIQUELY FIT FOR THE FUTURE. W WW.R EIN HAU S E N.CO

VACUTAP® VM® – THE ALL-ROUNDER FOR GRID OPERATION AND INDUSTRY.

The challenge: maximum reliability with minimum maintenance costs. Our solution: the VACUTAP® VM® on-load tap-changer. For all operators who don't want to compromise. The age of transformers around the world is constantly increasing. 50 years of operation and more are not uncommon these days. Of course, tap changers also have to function smoothly for these long periods. Our VACUTAP® VM® on-load tap-changer rises to this challenge. Our engineers have managed to combine the legendary reliability of the OILTAP® M supplied in more than 80,000 units with the benefits of vacuum switching technology....

VACUTAP® VM® – UNIQUE AND 4 TIMES BETTER. Decades of experience in vacuum technology. The result: an on-load tap-changer that combines maximum operational safety with maximum ease of service. Retrofittable VACUTAP® VM® diverter switch insert I 100% connection compatible with OILTAP® M and MS I icensed tap changers can also be upgraded L VACUTAP® Arc Control System® 1) I Perfectly matched interaction between our interrupters, developed especially for the on-load tap-changer (Advanced Interrupter Technology), and the new, patented actuation kinematics (Dual Energy Accumulator) I nsures reliable,...

Quality down to the last detail – tested for longer, lasts longer Endurance counts. This is why the VACUTAP® VM® has been put through longer and tougher tests than any MR tap changer before it. Far more than 200 tap changers were tested in advance to ensure the statistical certainty needed to guarantee a zerodefect launch. Our test engineers purposefully surpassed the values laid down in the IEC guidelines several times over. From a mechanical standpoint, the VACUTAP® VM® had to meet requirements 3 times higher. This meant not 500,000 but 1.5 million switching operations! Or for the rated switching...
