Tap Changing Transformer Experiment

This document provides instructions for simulating a tap changing transformer in PowerWorld Simulator to record the load bus voltage as the off nominal tap ratio is changed in discrete steps. It instructs the user to set the transformer as an off-nominal transformer, change the taps to vary the ratio by 0.625% and record the resulting load bus voltages in a table. It also has the user explain how the load bus voltage changes with different tap ratios and observe how the automatic tap control mode responds with varying reactive power loads.
