Transformer assembly for electric grids and a related control method

A transformer assembly for electric grids including: an electric transformer including a magnetic core, a first side including one or more first windings enchained with said magnetic core and adapted to be electrically connected to a first grid section and a second side including one or more second windings enchained with said magnetic core and adapted to be electrically connected to a second grid section; a tap changer operatively associated with said electric transformer to vary the number of turns enchained with said magnetic core for said first windings; a control unit to: acquire input data indicative of an electrical connectivity condition of said second grid section with said second windings; determine whether said transformer is in a load condition or in a no-load condition; and, in a no-load condition, command said tap changer to set a maximum available number of turns for said first windings.
