About the GE LR65 Load Tap Changer
The General Electric LR65 is a load tap changer used in GE distribution and power transformers for on-load voltage regulation. It uses a selector switch and reversing switch arrangement with an arcing contact to switch between tap positions under load. The high-amp kit configuration covers transformers with elevated load current requirements. Southern Switch machines LR65 selector switch stationary contacts, reversing switch moving contacts, and arcing blocks to OEM dimensional specifications.
Why replace worn LTC contacts
Worn or burned tap-changer contacts raise resistance, run hot, and can lead to tap-changer failure. Precision replacements restore reliable switching and extend the service life of the LTC.
