I suppose it could, but then it wouldn't be purely an isolation transformer. It would then be a isolation and either step up or step down transformer.

Can the two end of a center tap transformer be use with out a rectifier?

The twoends of a center tap transformer cannot be used without a rectifier.


What is difference between transformer and center taped transformer?

AnswerNot a big difference, an ordinary transformer only have one voltage out for instance 12 Volt, where a center tap can supply two X 6V with the center tap as 0 volt and 12V it is normally called a 6-0-6 or 9-0-9 an advantage of the center tap is that you only need two diodes to get full wave rectifying where with a ordinary you will need a full bridge to get full wave rectifying


Can you turn a multi-tap ballast into a step down transformer?

A mulit tap ballast is in fact an auto transformer.


What is the difference between Ohm and Ohm CT in impedance of an audio transformer?

The side of the transformer that has the ohm CT which translates into a winding on the transformer that has a center tap . This side of the transformer was likely attached directly to the audio output transistors set up in push pull configuration. This is what the center tap is for. This side of the transformer would have a higher impedance and is directly driven by the power supply to provide amplification The transformer also isolates the amplifier voltage from the other side which is of low impedance. This may be in the range of 8 to to 16 ohms which would be directly tied to a speaker.


What is the difference between an ordinary transformer and a center-tapped transformer?

An ordinary transformer has two input/output terminals but a center tapped transformer has 2 input and 3 output terminals. One is taken from the center for a ground connection. This causes it to get 50% of the actual value. And ordinary transformer contains 2 windings. An autotransformer has one.

Should the neutral in a service panel be connected to a system ground electrode?

No, the neutral (white wire) should be connected to the center tap of the supply transformer. The electrical service that comes to your home should have 3 wires. Across the 2 black wires should be 240 VAC. That comes from a transformer that steps down from the transmission voltage that is on the high voltage lines. The "center tap" of the output of that transformer gives you 2 legs of the supply, each at 120 VAC. In years past, the center tap has often been connected to ground, but that is no longer the case. The center tap is the neutral connection, and the ground is the part that keeps you from being electrocuted.

Where are center tapped transformers used?

The transformer that feeds your house is a center tapped transformer. Primary 7200, Secondary 240. The 240 volt secondary is center tapped to give you 120 volts on either side of the tap. Hence house voltage is 120 / 240 volts.

What main by OCTC and OLTC in the transformer?

OCTC means off circuit tap changer (off load tap changer) and OLTC means on load tap changer. in octc we can change the tap position while the transformer is in off condition only. we can not change the tap position of octc in charged condtion of the transformer. the tap position of octc can be change in deenrgise condion of transformer only means if you nwant to chang the tap position firstly you will have to deenrgise the power transformer then you can change the tap position of octc.while in oltc we can change the tap position of OLTC in charged condition of power transformer. This is the basic diffirence between OCTC and OLTC.generally the OCTC used in single phase generating transformer (G.T.Power Transformer) and OLTC used in three phase powwer transformers like standby transformer and auto transformer in power plants and switch yards. for any other question please mail me at (ashu_uit2007@yahoo.co.in )
