Function of tap chenger in transformer?
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 off load tap change?
Tap changer is a device that is used to change the secondary voltage on transformers. It is normally on the HV winding of the transformer. Off load tap changer is designed to change the taps only when the transformer is not charged, while on load tap changer is capable of changing the tap on load too.
What is a tap changer?
A tap changer is a device on the outside of transformers to allow the changing of the primary windings to except different primary voltages. A common one is 7200 - 14400 volts. Look up at the transformers on the poles to your house and you will be able to see this handle with the voltages stamped on the case and the handle in one of the positions. This allows for the transformer to be used on two different primary voltages. What this cuts down on is storage of single primary voltage transformers.CommentTap changers are normally incorporated into the high-voltage, rather than the primary, winding of a transformer.
What is the difference between off load tap changer and on load tap changer?
An on-load tap-changer must not break the supply to the transformer's windings while the transformer is on load. So it has a 'make-before-break' arrangement with its contacts -i.e. one contact moves to the second tap setting, before the second contact moves away from the first tap setting, while a reactor balances the load currents when the contacts are on different tap settings. An on-load tap changer is motor-driven, and can be operated automatically or manually.An off-load tap-changer does not require a make-before-break arrangement, because it is designed to be operated when the transformer is disconnected.
Why on load or off load tap changer is always connected in the primary side of a power or distribution transformer. And why distribution and power transformer are rated MVA?
The size of any switch depends on current it carries. Your statement is true for step down transformers. The primary is HV hence less current, so the tap changer is on primary side.
Where Tap changer placed in transformers primary side or secondary side?
It's installed on the high-voltage side.
Why you are using on load tap changer in primay of transformer?
The primary windings are bigger In size and it will be more accurate to tap it than tapping the smaller size secondary windings. Answer A tap changer is installed on the high-voltage side of a transformer, regardless of whether that transformer is a step-up or a step-down type. So, it isn't necessarily installed on the primary side of the transformer. The reason for this is that the current on the high-voltage side of the transformer is lower than on the low-voltage side, and the make/break contacts can be smaller. Also there are more turn on the high-voltage side so a finer degree of adjustment can be achieved.

Why in some distribution transformers the tap changer is on secondary LV side?
Never come across one.

What is the difference bet manual off Tap changer and auto tap changer in Distribution Transformers?
automatic tap changing transformers can change their tap setting on their own, manual tap means a person has to manually go out and change the tap setting
Is an on-load tap changer considered as a resistor?
No. All a tap changer (whether 'off-load' or 'on-load') does is to make minor changes to the turns-ratio of a transformer.

Why tap changer is required?
Tap changers are used to change transformer winding ratios by a specified amount (+/- 10%, for example). This allows more voltage control of one side with respect to the other. For a distribution transformer, as load increases, the voltage will sag. If it sags too far, a tap changer will be required to raise the voltage to acceptable values.
