Q:

In a transformer the tappings are generally provided on

A) Primary side B) low voltage side
C) High voltage side D) Secondary side
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) High voltage side

Explanation:

Tappings are provided in order to maintain the terminal voltage across the loads within the permissible specified limits with respect to load variations.

Generally tappings are preferred on HV side, because the HV side is low current side, tap changer involves low current interruption and large variations or small steps are possible due to more no of turns.
