Load transfer switch for a tap changer

A load changeover switch for a tap changer for uninterrupted switching over between different winding taps of a tapped transformer, with a separate oil vessel which surrounds it and in the wall of which and penetrating this are provided electrical connecting contacts, which are arranged circularly in at least one horizontal plane and for each electrical phase to be switched, for the load shunt on the one hand and each of the two sides A and B of the load changeover switch—between which there is switching over and the connection with the load to shunt is produced—on the other hand, wherein provided in the interior of the oil vessel is a load changeover switch insert, which for its part comprises a force store fastened to a force store carrier, electrical switching means, which are fixed by way of a mounting plate, for load switching over, means for actuation of the electrical switching means, and switch-over resistances, wherein apart from the force store also of the entire load changeover switch insert with all its components is fastenable to the force store carrier and that provided at the force store carrier is a plurality of mounts which are so supported over a large area at the respective upper permanent main contact carriers, which are fastened to the oil vessel, of each phase of the load changeover switch that the force store carrier is fixed not only in horizontal direction, but also in vertical direction.
