Can u pls explain why the central tap of the secondary step down transformer grounded?

Dear student,
It is electrically the same as having two separate secondary coils, of equal turns each, wired in series so their AC voltages add up. Often the transformer is used with the center-tap connected to the "ground" or "common" or otherwise zero voltage point in the circuit being powered. So, when listing the voltages on each of several taps on a long coil, one of the taps will be labeled "0", and each other will be labeled with the AC voltage it has with respect to the "0" tap.
Hope this helps.
Thankyou
