Three-phase tap-changing transformer system

TLDR
In this article, the number of gate-constrained, gate-consistent, and gate-controlled, switchboard-switching devices in a three-phase TAP-CHANGING TRANSFORMER system is minimized by simultaneously USing the same STATIC SEMICONDUCTOR SWitching DeVICES in COMBINATION with APPROPRIATE SWITCHING DEVICES HAVING RELATIVELY MOVable CONTACTS.
Abstract
THE NUMBER OF GATE-CONTROLLED SEMICONDUCTOR A-C SWITCHING DEVICES (INVERSE PARALLEL CONNECTED THRYSTORS OR TRIACS) IN A THREE-PHASE TAP-CHANGING TRANSFORMER SYSTEM IS MINIMIZED BY SEQUENTIALLY USING THE SAME STATIC SEMICONDUCTOR SWITCHING DEVICES IN COMBINATION WITH APPROPRIATE SWITCHING DEVICES HAVING RELATIVELY MOVABLE CONTACTS FOR SEQUENTIALLY EFFECTING TAP-CHANGING OPERATIONS IN ALL THREE PHASES OF A Y-CONNECTED TRANSFORMER WHOSE WINDINGS ARE TAPPED.
