Transformer tapping requirements encompass several aspects, including safety, precision, and reliability. Here are some common requirements for transformer tapping:

Safety: Tapping operations must prioritize high safety standards to ensure the well-being of personnel and equipment. This includes the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, adherence to relevant safety standards and regulations, and the monitoring and control of tapping procedures to prevent accidents.

Tapping Tools: Employ the correct and compliant tapping tools to ensure precise and safe tapping operations. These tools should be kept sharp and well-maintained.

Tapping Location: Identify the tapping location to ensure that tapping operations do not damage critical parts or the insulation system of the transformer. Typically, tapping is performed on the insulation layers.

Tapping Precision: Tapping should be highly accurate to ensure that the transformer's performance and operating parameters are precisely adjusted. Tapping operations may involve different levels of adjustment, including coarse and fine adjustments. 

Tapping Method: Choose the appropriate tapping method, such as mechanical tapping, electronic tapping, and electromechanical integrated tapping, based on the type and requirements of the transformer.

Operating Standards: Adhere to tapping operation standards and recommendations provided by the manufacturer to ensure the quality and reliability of the tapping operation. 

Testing and Monitoring: After tapping operations are completed, testing and monitoring are necessary to verify that the transformer's performance matches the specified requirements. This includes the measurement and inspection of electrical parameters.

Documentation: Every step of the tapping operation should be well-documented for future reference and tracking.

Tapping is a crucial operation for adjusting the output voltage of a transformer, and, therefore, precision and safety are paramount. Careful planning and preparation are typically required before tapping operations to meet the specific needs of the transformer. Operators should possess appropriate training and experience to ensure the success of tapping operations and the reliability of the transformer.
