The tap changer changes the ratio of primary to secondary windings by physically adding or subtracting windings from the primary or secondary. An on load tap changer (LTC) allows dynamic voltage control, which is important when loading of Transformers, and the system in general, varies (if the primary voltage sags, the LTC can be used to increase the secondary voltage so customers don't see this sag).

What is on load tap chenger?
A tap changer is used to vary the turns ration between the windings of a transformer to make minor changes to the secondary voltage. An on-load tap changer enables the turns ratio to be altered without disconnecting the transformer. An off-load tap changer requires the transformer to be temporarily diconnected. On-load tap changers are installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer, where the current is lower.
What is center tap transformer?
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.
The basic function of a transformer is to change?
The basic function of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
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 )

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 function of fans in transformer?
The function of fans in a transformer is to regulate the transformer's temperature.

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.
Difference between off load transformer and on load transformer?
Hope this helpsAn "OFF-Load tap transformer" can only have it's tap adjusted when it is De-energized,while the "On-Load tap transformer" can adjust its tap under load conditions.Kind RegardsHammad KhanUniversity of Western AustraliaAnswerAn 'off load' transformer is one whose secondary is open circuited, and not supplying a load. An 'on load' (not 'load') transformer is one that is connected to a load.
When operating a no load tap changer on a transformer what should be done first?
First isolate the transformer
How can a step down transformer which is transforming 450 volt in the last tap be changed to 415 volt?
The instruction for changing the taps on a transformer can be found on the transformers nameplate. These taps will be on the primary side of the transformer. Each tap position will state what the voltage will be on the output when the individual tap is selected.
