Clean up

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.

This sentence is barely comprehensible. It seems to be unnecessarily long and cumbersome.
Tap changer is spelled both with and with out a space. I assume this is a typo, but it should be fixed.

Update to Tap Changers / Tap (Transformer)

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.
