Abstract

A resistor assembly can be used in a tap changer. The resistor assembly may include: a resistor element, which is held by at least two resistor holders; a base plate with at least one opening and on which the at least two resistor holders holding the resistor element are arranged; a plurality of guides, respectively formed in each of the resistor holders and being configured to position a first end and a second end of the resistor element with respect to a longitudinal direction between the two resistor holders; and contact points of the resistor element, the contact points being electrically contacted by contacts of the tap changer in a condition where the resistor element is inserted into the resistor holder.
