Primary Voltage Taps on a Transformer

[@loganmiller2789]

I was studying for my test tomorrow and couldn’t visualize how a tap worked, but thank you so much you explained it well!🙌🏽🔥

[@ZackHartle]

Glad it helped!

Awesome explanation, perfect video quality...I like they way you write like you are writing on the screen !! it is creative way to record video comparing to the traditionally way where you see mainly the back or side of the instructor ....you should promote your video man it deserves more views.

[@ZackHartle]

So nice of you

[@jamesanimashaun1661]

Man this video is one in a million in terms of simplicity of explanation , keep up the good work sir.Expecting more from you sir

[@ZackHartle]

So nice of you

[@wilsonrigney6084]

Great videos man! Thanks to you I might pass my finals. Keep it up!

[@ZackHartle]

Happy to help!

[@sudalaiyandiessakiappan5747]

Thank you sir I would like to expect more videos like these from you

[@okzzvil7617]

Thanks

Thank you!

Just, wondering, in a three phase transformer, is it advisable to use different taps per phase in a primary in order to have a uniform secondary voltage?

[@gouthamshivakumar9520]

If the HV voltage decreases, we need to increase the tap number, right?
Increasing the tap number means reducing the number of turns in the HV side?

Thank you very much for uploading this video easy to understand

What if the Main inputs power supply or Main is 600 Volts Tap accidentally to 480 Volts Transformer Primary windings. What will be the Voltage and Current of a Particular 230/240Volts rated Secondary transformer. What woul be the results.

[@deportiva8238]

Great explanation

[@tuna6423]

Generally, if it is small multi tap transformer and it is not mentioned FCBN/AN or RCBN, in this case it is naturally RC?

[@ZackHartle]

I would assume so, but I don't know for sure

[@1crow972]

Very easy to understand. Thanks a lot

[@Dawd7]

Sir, what's the difference between side, upper, lower, and middle tapping?

[@elias311179]

Thanks man

[@Kumari891]

If the primary voltage is exactly 600V, is the tap position 0?

[@ZackHartle]

Yep!

[@fabianm.2982]

​@@ZackHartlegreat presentation there. Just to add for the transformer with taps you have just shown. It will have five tap positions with +5% being no. 1 and 0% which is nominal being tap position 3. That is based on what I have seen in the industry.

[@SOGUIREL]

Since 585 v will give 234 V in secondary. So in order to increase secondary voltage from 234 to 240 WE need to decrease the number of turns in primary. So you should have put negative percentage on TOP of 0%✓.
General rules:
To increase secondary voltage, turns number in primary must be decreased.
To decrease secondary voltage, turns number in primary must be increased.

[@vfwveihvnwroi3614]

yea thats literally what he said, i am always baffled, that the only explanation we got is some formula. "Due to input voltage being "this and this" our formula gives us "this and this", but ffs why???????.

thank you

[@IgeJulius8]

Excellent. thanks

[@Ref_dilika]

Simple n clear

[@raminmollahajloo4059]

Thanks very much teacher 👏👏👏👏

[@karlykrupka1220]

Thank you for explaining what my text book could not

[@ZackHartle]

You bet! Glad it helped!
