FIELD: electricity.SUBSTANCE: tap changer for a transformer comprises a cylinder and a shaft which is rotatably arranged inside the cylinder. The cylinder is provided with fixed contacts and the shaft is provided with a contact circuit facing the cylinder and including mechanical contacts, wherein the mechanical contacts are adapted to selectively mate with the fixed contacts of the cylinder upon rotation of the shaft. The contact circuit also includes at least two measuring points for measuring the characteristics of the contact circuit. The tap changer comprises at least one measuring contact device, which is electrically connected to the respective measuring points in the contact circuit. The measuring contact device is placed inside the shaft.EFFECT: wider field of use of the tap changer and the measurement method by facilitating access to measuring points of the tap changer.14 cl, 8 dwg |
