What is OLTC in a transformer, specify its fuction.

Answer Posted / shreenidhi

OLTC(on load tap changer)is a mechanism used in transformer
for changing the tapping position on primary side(HV)of
transformer.For any installation mostly in industrial areas
and rural areas the voltage on HV of the transformer will
not be 11kv(taking an example of 11kv System)and
correspondingly the output will not be 433v.To maintain a
constant 11kv/433v the tap changer on the Primary/HV side
of the transformer is either raised or lowered to maintain
constant 11kv input to transformer.Normally it is raised or
lowered in steps of 2.5% of normal KV value.
