A
voltage-regulating
capacitance-regulating tap switch adopting
vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers comprises a
capacitance regulating switch set and a
capacitance regulating operation mechanism. The capacitance regulating switch set comprises three high-
voltage double-break
vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers and six low-
voltage double-break
vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers, the three high-voltage double-break vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers are connected with a tap contact of a
transformer high-voltage side winding, and therefore conversion of star connection and triangular connection of the high-voltage side winding is achieved. The six low-voltage double-break vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers are connected with tap contacts of
transformer low-voltage side windings, and therefore conversion of series connection and parallel connection of the low-pressure side windings is achieved. The tap switch further comprises two voltage regulating switch sets and a voltage regulating operation mechanism, each voltage regulating switch set comprises three double-break vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers and a voltage regulating mechanism, the three double-break vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers of each voltage regulating switch set are connected with tap contacts of a high-gear winding, an intermediate-gear winding and a low-gear winding of a
transformer coil high-voltage side respectively, and therefore
voltage regulation of a transformer is achieved. The voltage-regulating capacitance-regulating tap switch has the advantages of being high in safety, small in size, easy to
mount and convenient to operate.
