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.
