RTCC Panel

An RTCC Panel (Remote Tap Changer Control Panel) is a vital control unit used to operate and monitor the on-load tap changer (OLTC) of a power transformer remotely. Its main function is to maintain a stable and constant output voltage by adjusting the transformer’s tap positions in response to voltage fluctuations on the primary side. RTCC panels are essential in power distribution systems where voltage regulation is critical for operational efficiency and equipment protection.

The panel continuously monitors the secondary voltage of the transformer. When the voltage deviates from the pre-set range—either too high or too low—it sends an automatic command to the OLTC motor to raise or lower the tap position accordingly. This tap-shifting action helps compensate for input voltage variations, ensuring a steady voltage output. Operators can also switch to manual mode for local control during maintenance or special conditions.

RTCC panels are widely used in power substations, utility transformer yards, industrial plants, and facilities with high-voltage transformers where remote voltage regulation and real-time monitoring are necessary. At Amtech Power, our RTCC panels are designed for seamless integration with OLTC-equipped transformers, offering precise voltage control, automatic operation, and built-in protections—ensuring efficient energy distribution and extended transformer life.

What is an RTCC Panel?

An RTCC Panel stands for Remote Tap Changer Control Panel. It is used to remotely control and monitor the tap position of an on-load tap changer (OLTC) of a power transformer to maintain a constant output voltage, especially in power distribution systems.

Purpose of RTCC Panel:

Automatically or manually controls the OLTC tap position

Maintains a stable output voltage from the transformer

Compensates for voltage fluctuations on the incoming (primary) side

Provides remote control and monitoring of transformer tap settings

Working of RTCC Panel:

Continuously monitors the secondary voltage of the transformer

Sends a command to the OLTC motor when voltage exceeds set limits

OLTC adjusts tap position to bring voltage back to the desired level

Operation can be set to manual or automatic mode

Where It Is Used:

Power substations

Industrial plants with high-voltage transformers

Utility transformer yards

Wherever OLTC transformers are installed
