No. All a tap changer (whether 'off-load' or 'on-load') does is to make minor changes to the turns-ratio of a transformer.
Tap changer is a device that is used to change the secondary voltage on transformers. It is normally on the HV winding of the transformer. Off load tap changer is designed to change the taps only when the transformer is not charged, while on load tap changer is capable of changing the tap on load too.
An on-load tap-changer must not break the supply to the transformer's windings while the transformer is on load. So it has a 'make-before-break' arrangement with its contacts -i.e. one contact moves to the second tap setting, before the second contact moves away from the first tap setting, while a reactor balances the load currents when the contacts are on different tap settings. An on-load tap changer is motor-driven, and can be operated automatically or manually.An off-load tap-changer does not require a make-before-break arrangement, because it is designed to be operated when the transformer is disconnected.
It is a changer that you can load & store 5 CDs into and play any of these CDs you want and any time.
A tap changer is used to vary the turns ration between the windings of a transformer to make minor changes to the secondary voltage. An on-load tap changer enables the turns ratio to be altered without disconnecting the transformer. An off-load tap changer requires the transformer to be temporarily diconnected. On-load tap changers are installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer, where the current is lower.
