In a tap changing transformer, the tappings are provided on__________?
Correct answer: C. high voltage winding
- A. primary winding
- B. secondary winding
- C. high voltage winding
- D. any of the above
Explanation
Tappings are generally placed on the high-voltage winding because it carries lower current, making the tap contacts smaller and safer to operate. The high-voltage winding also has more turns, allowing finer voltage adjustment.
