WHAT IS OLTC OF TRANSFORMER? WHERE IS ITS USED EITHER ON
PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SIDE OF TRANSFORMER?

Answer Posted / mayank

OLTC means...ON LOAD TAP CHANGER. It is provided on the HV
side of the transformer. On HV side as the current is less
we can easily( not that easily..) switch over to different
voltage levels thus producing minimum chances of arc
production. While on the LV side as the current is very
large On load tap changing almost becomes impossible.

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
