In a transformer the tappings are generally provided on_____________?
Correct answer: D. high voltage side
- A. primary side
- B. secondary side
- C. low voltage side
- D. high voltage side
Explanation
Tappings are normally placed on the high-voltage winding because it has more turns, allowing finer voltage adjustment, and carries lower current, making the tap switch smaller. The low-voltage side carries heavy current and is less convenient for tapping.
