Which Side Tapping in Transformer?
On Load Tap Changer Is Preferred on High Voltage Side: in That, the Power Transformer's Turns Are in the High Voltage Side Is Higher Than the Low Voltage Side...
Why the tapping is placed on high voltage side?
The tap changer is placed on high voltage side because: ... Because of high voltage the current through the HV winding is less compared to LV windings, hence there is less “wear” on the tap changer contacts. Due this low current, in on load tap changer the change over spark will be less.
Why do we use tap changer in primary side of transformer?
The purpose of a tap changer is to regulate the output voltage of a transformer. It does this by altering the number of turns in one winding and thereby changing the turns ratio of the transformer. ... An OLTC varies the transformer ratio while the transformer is energized and carrying load.
