What is a Load Tap Changer Transformer?

A Load Tap Changer (LTC) Transformer is a type of power transformer equipped with a mechanism that allows for adjusting the transformer's output voltage without interrupting the electrical load. The tap changer can switch between different winding taps under load conditions, helping to regulate and maintain a stable voltage level in power distribution networks. LTC transformers are commonly used in substations and electrical grids to accommodate varying load demands and improve the efficiency and reliability of electricity delivery.
