- HVDC transformers often have a large regulation range, normally from 25 to 35 positions. The load losses are evaluated in a position near the minus position.
- Today most HVDC transformers are provided with plus/minus regulation that has higher load losses near the minus positions compared to linear or coarse regulations. The regulation is often placed close to the core. Linear connection is not possible due to the limited regulation range. Coarse regulation is often not possible for dielectric reasons or is too expensive since the regulation needs two windings.
- a successive switching sequence of the stacked stationary contacts is accomplished by dividing the standard operating angle of the Geneva gear in half and using two electrically and mechanically coupled tap selector moving contacts staggered by this angle. Compared to a plus/minus connection, this solution grants lower load losses. However, this is a complex solution with two tap selectors connected with a mechanical shaft.
- a disadvantage of this solution compared to other linear solutions is that the distance between electrically adjacent contacts is relatively small due to the fact that a blind position is added in between the fixed contacts. A small distance between contacts leads to reduced withstand of voltage.
