Center tapped Transformers are used in North America to be able to use two voltages from the transformers secondary. It is known as a three wire system. Appliances circuits that utilize 240 volts and appliances that use 120 volts can be supplied from one transformer. The transformers secondary is center tapped and grounded. This allows the 240 volt winding L1 - L2 to produce 120 volts from one leg of the winding to ground L1 - N and the second half of the winding 120 volts from N - L2.

Center tapped transformers are used anywhere world wide where ever they were designed to be used.
There is nothing particular to a center tapped transformer that makes it more or less suitable for use in North America.

Is there a neutral on a three phase transformer?
It depends on whether you are wye or delta connected. A transformer is a transformer, and a three phase transformer is simply three transformers. The key is in how you hook them up.AnswerIt depends on how the transformer is connected. If one set of windings is connected in star (or wye), then the star point is/canbe earthed and becomes the neutral for that particular connection; this is the standard connection for the secondary (low-voltage) of European distribution transformers. In North American three-phase distribution transformers, the secondary windings are connected in delta, and one phase is centre tapped, earthed, and that becomes the neutral point for a 240/120-V split-phase supply to a residence.This answer applies to both three-phase transformers, and to single-phase transformers which have been connected to form a three-phase transformer bank. (It is incorrect to say that a three-phase transformer is simply three single-phase transformers!)
