A tap-changer is an electrically operated (usually) mechanical device used for changing the tapping usually on the primary of a high voltage transmission transformer in order to alter the voltage at the transformer secondary for the purpose of regulation of the voltage at the load (consumer) end of the line.

To which part are you referring here?-- Light current 02:20, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
It seems a pretty good idea to me at the moment. Of course, tap changing will be the major proportion , wont it?-- Light current 23:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
I choose to do my project on tap changing transformers because I couldn’t find excessive information on them and I found a near blank Wikipedia page on taps. When we were learning about tap changing transformers there was only a slide or two on the subject and I though it may be a topic that warranted further investigation. I then searched the topic on Wikipedia and found that there were four pages dealing with tap changing transformers and related topics, but one of those pages was a woefully lacking stub (Only had around 50 words on the topic). I read through the associated pages and decided that they could be greatly improved by merging similar topics and redirecting the old pages to the newly merged pages. I also reviewed the talk pages on the articles and found that there was the desire for the aforementioned actions to be taken, but the project had never been completed. So I set out to merge the pages, add redirecting, and add citations to the pages which I found to be lacking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Protopeters ( talk • contribs) 03:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
In one place the article says, "No-load tap changer (NLTC), also known as Off-circuit tap changer (OCTC)" and in another it says, "On-load tap changer (OLTC), also known as On-circuit tap changer (OCTC)"
Is OCTC an off-circuit tap changer or is it an on-circuit tap changer? PacoverdeBSR ( talk) 02:12, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned in the article that some (generally older) AC powered railway locomotives used tap changers to regulate the amount of power delivered to the traction motors? Examples include the Class 86 and Class 87. Slender ( talk) 08:06, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
