The purpose of tap switches is to adjust the voltage ratio of the transformer slightly. This can be useful in situations where the input voltage is not exactly at the standard level or when a slight voltage adjustment is required to compensate for line losses or load variations.
By selecting a different tap position on the winding, you can change the turns ratio and subsequently adjust the output voltage. Tap switch transformers are commonly used in power distribution systems, industrial applications, and various voltage regulation scenarios.
