Description : In a Tap changing transformer on which side is the tap connected, primary side or secondary side?

Last Answer : A. Tapings are always connected to high voltage winding side, because of low current. If we connect tapings to low voltage side, sparks will produce while tap changing operation due to high current.

Description : Why the tap changers are always connected to HV side of the transformer? 

Last Answer : During tap changing action the load current has to be shifted from one tap to another tap. In case HV wining the load current will be less. Hence lesser arcing will take place. 

Description : Why there is no mixing of oil of tap changer and transformer?

Last Answer : When the tap changing takes place arc is struck between the contacts. Due to this the oil inside the tap changer will be highly carbonised. If both oil get mixed up the quality of transformer tank oil will come down. This is not advisable. Hence both oils are kept separately.
