Tap changing is the ability available in many power Transformers to control the voltage.
How it works:: As we know the energy conservation for transformers V1*I1=V2*I2 [1 is primary side and 2 is secondary]..So suppose your system requirement is 220VAC transformer output and incoming voltage is 415VAC [Tapped input with appx +-10% ,400-415-440],then in case of low output voltage or higher output voltage [lesser than or greater than 220Vac] can be rectified by changing the input side taps only [By increasing and decreasing the input tap setting as said above].
Essentially what is being done is a few turns are being added or removed from one winding, which results in a different ratio N1/N2, resulting in different secondary voltage vs. primary voltage.
This can be used to coordinate voltage control by having the LTC operate prior to automatic cap banks on the bulk electric system, and prior to power plants modifying their output. transformers should be tapped slower than the local lower voltage cap banks. Basically, the lowest voltage voltage regulation equipment should begin tapping (as a general rule) or turning on. If these cannot fix the problem, the higher voltage equipment will kick in.

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.

Why you tapchanger fix in transformer hv side?
A tap changer is used on the high voltage (HV) side of a transformer to adjust the voltage ratio and maintain a desired voltage level under varying load conditions. It allows for voltage regulation and compensates for voltage fluctuations in the power system. By changing the number of turns in the transformer winding, the tap changer can increase or decrease the voltage output, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply.
How do you control high voltage using SCR?
By giving proper gate triggering voltage... it can used to control the high power application like ordinary pn junction diode.
Why variable voltage and variable frequency control is used instead of variable voltage?
variable voltage control has some limitations as you decrease the voltage corresponding phase current will increase lead to increase of flux which lead to saturation of motor core and heating of motor to make flux constant and vary speed of motor v/f ratio need to be maintained constant

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 inherent voltage regulation of an onload tap changer for power transformer?
depending on the amount of the load of transformer as well as the power factor of it, there is a transformer specific voltage drop at its terminals, due to the internal impedances. The on-load tap changer can / will be used to compensate this voltage drop or rise.
What is a vrm used for?
To control the amout of voltage to the processor
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 method is used to control the voltage of an aircraft alternator?
Aircraft alternators have an electronic voltage regulator.

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 operating system are used to control and coordinate computers that are linked together?
NOS (Network Operating System)
How do you control high voltage using SCR?

Zener diode application?
A zener diode are used in small circuits as shunt regulators to control voltage. It may also be used as voltage references and as surge protectors to limit transient spikes in voltage.
