Electrical control apparatus including a transformer having a winding connectable in a power circuit which includes a source of alternating potential and a load circuit. The transformer winding includes at least two tap connections which are selectively connected into the power circuit with solid-state switching devices. The solid-state switching devices are gated at a firing angle responsive to an error signal. Tap-to-tap short circuits are obviated, regardless of the type of connected load, by firing control which senses the direction of instantaneous power flow, and the direction of instantaneous current flow in the power circuit.

A load tap changing voltage regulator has a dial type tapchanging switch and an odd-even switch integral therewith having first and second pairs of contacts connected in series with first and second rotatable tap changer contacts forming first and second load circuits, and the odd-even switch contacts open before the corresponding tap changer rotatable contact disengages a stationary contact and close after it engages a succeeding stationary contact. A pair of oppositely poled thyristors are connected across the first and second load circuits. First and second current transformers are connected in the first and second load circuits and energize bridge rectifiers which supply gating current to the thyristors and also indicate whether the load circuits are open or closed. RC time delay circuits responsive to the opening of either load circuit remove the gating signals to the thyristors after a predetermined time delay, thus assuring that the tap changer switch contacts and the odd-even switch contacts do not interrupt current and that the current is commutated off by the thyristors at current zero. Shunt regulators between the bridge rectifiers and the cathode-gate circuits of the thyristors regulate the power dissipation of the gate circuits, and the shunt control elements are biased in the active region to permit gating current to flow to the thyristors when both load circuits are closed and they are biased into saturation to shunt gating current from the thyristors a predetermined interval subsequent to the opening of either of the pairs of odd-even switch contacts.

A tapchanger for a regulating transformer includes a rotatable combined diverter switch tap selector, of which the fixed contacts are arranged in a circular row and are mounted at equal free distances from each other and at least one fixed contact extends over a larger arc of a circle than the other contacts and in which a set of switching contacts mounted for rotation about the axis of the circular row and cooperating with the fixed contacts is adapted to be rotated, for the changeover operation between at least one pair of adjacent fixed contacts, through a greater angle than for the changeover operation between the other pairs of adjacent fixed contacts.

Load tap changer apparatus, including a tap selector switch, a load transfer switch, and a protective circuit having a magnetic transducer which magnetically checks for current flow through a predetermined conductor of the apparatus, while being spaced from the predetermined conductor beyond the voltage jump distance to ground. The protective circuit utilizes an electrical signal from the magnetic transducer to prevent the operation of the tap selector switch when current is flowing through the predetermined conductor.
