Why TAP changer provided in primary side of HT
transformer ? and why not in secondary?

Answer Posted / a.sundar

Because of High Voltage in primary side, it will draw less
current. While changing the tap, Due to less current
sparking occurs less.
In secoondary side low voltage, so high current in
secondary, and more sparks due to high current.

ii) A shunt motor supplied at 230V, runs at 900 rpm when the current is 30A. The resistance of the armature is 0.4 ohms. Calculate the resistance required in series with the armature to reduce the speed to 600 rpm, assuming that the armature current is then 20A. [12]

Hi everyone. Some Generators uses 3-Pole breakers with extra contactors for Neutral. Some uses 4-Pole. Why so? What is the idea behind this? Thanks in advance for the solution. Kr.
