Switching system for an on-load tap changer, on-load tap changer and method for switching a tap connection of an on-load tap changer

Abstract

Switching system for an on-load tap changer, on-load tap changer and method for switching a tap connection of an on-load tap changer A switching system for an on-load tap changer comprises: a rotatable ring stack, wherein the rotatable ring stack is part of an internal Geneva mechanism, a drive system, wherein the ring stack comprises: a first current carrier ring and a second current carrier ring each of which is selectively electrically coupleable to one of a plurality of contact elements of the tap changer, and a Geneva ring, wherein the drive system comprises a driving wheel, wherein the Geneva ring is mechanically coupleable with the driving wheel, such that the Geneva ring is rotatable by the driving wheel, the first and the second current carrier rings each are coupled with the Geneva ring such that a rotation of Geneva ring causes a joint rotation of the first and the second current carrier ring.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
