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.

The only difference is the addition of the center tap. It is a third wire added to the secondary winding to split the output voltage in half. On a transformer without a center tap, the output or secondary wires would be labeled: first wire: 0 volts second wire: 12 volts Take the same transformer, add a center tap. Now you have three wires, and they would be labeled: first wire: 6 volts second wire: 0 volts (this is the added wire) third wire: 6 volts If you measure between wire 1 and wire 3, you still have 12 volts, but you measure 6 volts between wires 1 and 2 as well as wires 2 and 3. If you cap (insulate and don't use) the center-tap and use just the other two wires, then it is the same as a transformer without a center-tap. The most common use for a center-tapped transformer is the utility (mains) power to a residence. In the US for instance, most lamps and small appliances run on 120 volts, but the big power hungry appliances such as house air conditioners, electric hot water heaters, and electric stoves use 240 volts. How do you have both? Why, a center-tapped transformer! in this case, the center-tap has a special name, it is called the neutral. the other two wires are called hot wires. From either hot wire to neutral you have 120V for the lights and receptacles, but from hot to hot, you have 240V available for the air conditioner and so forth.
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.
In a transformer it is known as the transformer core.
In electronics, a center tap is a connection made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer or inductor, or along the element of a resistor or a potentiometer. ..
You can if done carefully. The neutral of one transformer must be set up to be at the positive voltage of the other transformer. This might require an intermediate step transformer that is center tapped (so three instead of 2 transformers).

what is the difference between revenue center and suport center
Is the same as the difference between middle and center
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a 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.
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

There is no difference. The word "center" has the UK/Canadian/French spelling "centre."
