Overview

1.1 Device Introduction
The MOEORW-CD300 On-Load Tap Changer Fault Diagnosis Device (hereinafter referred to as MOEORW-CD300) is an intelligent electronic monitoring device. For decades, on-load tap changers have relied on outdated mechanical methods such as cam-linkage mechanisms, resulting in poor reliability and numerous tap changer incidents. As a socially responsible power monitoring enterprise, we have synthesized insights from diverse projects, studied and adopted new technologies across various fields, and integrated recent demands for online monitoring devices to design and manufacture the MOEORW-CD300 On-Load Tap Changer Fault Diagnosis Device.
The MOEORW-CD300 device enables real-time analysis and diagnosis of on-load tap changer operational status and tap position information. It provides maintenance guidance and predictive warning functions, ensuring safe, reliable, stable, and efficient operation of both the switch itself and the transformer.
1.2 Functional Configuration
Standard Features:
l Measurement and calculation of transformer single-phase/three-phase voltage, current, frequency, power, and other parameters;

l Statistics on tap changer position change frequency and duration;
l Monitoring of motor current and voltage for tap changer motor-driven mechanisms with torque calculation;
l Support for oil temperature monitoring via PT100/4-20mA sampling;
l Real-time calculation of tap changer contact electrical life and wear based on application protocols and condition monitoring data, with maintenance recommendations;
l Can interface with condition signals from oil purifiers, RS2001, gas relays, pressure relief valves, etc.;
l Monitors tap changer vibration and generates waveform spectra for diagnostic analysis; employs time-domain/frequency-domain analysis, overlap ratio, high/low-frequency energy ratio, and other algorithms for diagnostic evaluation;
l Calculates motor current MCI index per IEEE PC57.143, triggering alarms when exceeding normal index by 30%;
l Provides early warnings and alarms for monitoring data exceedances and switch failures;
l Supports IEC61850 (ed.2), Modbus, and DNP3.0 communication protocols;
l Performs transformer hotspot calculations and overload prediction based on top oil temperature and load current per IEC 60076-7; calculates transformer aging and service life using standard and manufacturer temperature rise curve parameters;
Expandable Functions:
l Oil moisture and acetylene/hydrogen monitoring;
l Oil contamination monitoring, including dielectric strength and particle size;
l Tap changer acoustic signature signal acquisition and analysis;

Features

l The MOEORW-CD300 device features a 3U 19-inch standard chassis (442mm wide, 133mm high, 150mm deep). It can be installed as a standalone wall-mounted unit or integrated within an operating mechanism. It is also compatible with locally controlled units and locally controlled cabinets.
l The board employs a modular plug-in design with interfaces standardized using Euro-style terminals. It features a front-plug design for easy wiring and installation, and the display operation panel can be assembled separately.
l Based on a high-speed sampling board, it performs real-time or periodic monitoring of status data such as vibration and temperature for transformers and tap changers. It automatically records switch action waveforms triggered by redundant signals from motor current and tap position.
l Input and output nodes can be reconfigured according to user requirements;
l Capable of generating waveforms for motor current, vibration, acoustic signatures, etc., supporting storage and upload; enables waveform analysis and diagnostics;
l The device features self-test and self-reset functions, employing three-level watchdog protection (system/hardware/software) to ensure long-term stable operation. Includes power-off memory retention to prevent data loss during outages;
l Automatic alarm functionality for monitoring anomalies including data irregularities, monitoring function failures, and communication interruptions. Alarm strategy settings incorporate logical validity checks to prevent false alarms caused by transient data disturbances. Features automatic recovery from communication interruptions and monitoring function failures;
l Supports PT100 temperature acquisition and 4-20mA current loop temperature acquisition;
l Supports firmware upgrades via electrical, optical, and serial interfaces; enables remote parameter customization (e.g., sampling intervals, alarm thresholds, warning thresholds, temperature ranges, etc.).
l Monitors and controls cooling systems by collecting fan status signals. Calculates and manages fan activation/deactivation based on oil temperature, load, and number of active fans, supporting up to 6 fan groups.
l Capable of interoperating with IED intelligent devices.
