why the tapping of transformer on ht side??????

Answer Posted / kornelius vattie

HV side of a transformer carries low current in comparison to the LV side of the same transformer. This low current promote little arcs during switching, limits the size of cables to be used, therefore it is also very economical to do tappings here. NB- the higher the Volts, the low the Amps.
