A 'centre tap' refers to a connection midway along the length of a transformer winding. In North America, the 240-V secondary winding of a distribution transformer is centre tapped, and grounded, thus providing the neutral. Each outer terminal of that winding is then at a potential of 120 V with respect to the centre tap. This enables US and Canadian residences to have both 240 V and 120 V supplies. 240 V is then used for high power appliances, such as ranges (cookers), while 120 V is used to supply lower-power appliances, such as kettles, toaster, etc.

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.
What is the output voltage across the secondary of a center-tapped transformer rated at 9-0-9?
If measured on the two outside taps the output will be 18 volt. Measured from the center tap to either of the outside tap will give a reading of 9 volts.
What is centre tap transformer?
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. ..
How 220V and 110V supply both come in home?
The power is supplied to the home from a center-tapped transformer with the center tap grounded. The voltage from the center tap to each leg is 110 to 120. However, the voltage between the two outer taps is 220 to 240. Entering the home, the wires to each (hot) tap are black and red, respectively, and the neutral is white. A forth, bare, ground conductor is included for safety. It is joined to the neutral wire at the breaker box.
