[Amps] Transformer taps

[Gary Schafer <garyschafer@comcast.net>]

I have a plate transformer that has taps at 2000, 2500 and 3000 with a 
common center tap. Obviously made for a full wave rectifier to supply 
1000, 1250 or 1500 volts rectified.

I will use it with a full wave bridge.

Question about the taps: Would there be any harm in using a lower tap on 
one half of the transformer different than on the other half?

Meaning, use the one 3000 tap on one side  and the other side use the 
2500 tap. This would allow voltages steps of 250 volts rather than 500 
volts for a tap change.

It would give 250 volt steps between 2000 and 3000 volts of transformer 
voltage.

Thanks
