Transformer Taps

this is from ACME electric, a transformer manufacturer.

What are taps and when are they used?

Taps are provided on some transformers on the high voltage winding to correct for high or low voltage conditions, and still deliver full rated output voltages at the secondary terminals.
Standard tap arrangements are at 2.5%and 5% of the rated primary voltage for both high and low voltage conditions.
For example, if the transformer has a 480 volt primary and the available line voltage is running at 504 volts, the primary should be connected to the 5% tap above normal in order that the secondary voltage be maintained at the proper rating.
The standard ASA and NEMA designation for taps are “ANFC” (above normal full capacity) and “BNFC” (below normal full capacity).

Fla. man electrocuted in wedding ring mishap

PORT ORANGE, Fla. - The routine work of installing a dishwasher ended tragically for a Florida man last Thursday, authorities said.
CBS News Orlando, Fla., affiliate WKMG, reports Jason Ferguson, 33, was electrocuted when his wedding ring came into contact with an unknown object. Police said the accident happened at his in-laws' home in Port Orange while the family was preparing to eat dinner.
Around 7 p.m. they noticed his arm was stretched behind the appliance while he was kneeling. Family members said he was unresponsive and they administered CPR, police said. Ferguson later died after being taken to the hospital.
It is unclear what cause the electrocution, but police said Ferguson, who installs and repairs items at the home could possibly have contacted a copper wire..
