Introduction:
The project addresses replacing worn out tapchangers with new technology.
Objectives:
The vacuum tapchanger project will attempt to fit a new technology tapchanger (Vacutap) to an existing asset which has a worn out tapchanger on a healthy transformer.

Cost savings will be delivered through achievement of extended asset lives with a reduced maintenance requirement.
