Tap changing is normally provided on the high-voltage winding because

  • A.the low-voltage winding cannot be tapped at all
  • B.the current there is smaller and the switchgear cheaper
  • C.the voltage there is lower and the insulation simpler
  • D.the winding there has fewer turns to be tapped

Answer: B

Correct answer: the current there is smaller and the switchgear cheaper

Ampere-turns balance means the high-voltage winding carries the smaller current, so the tap changer contacts and the switching duty are lighter and the equipment cheaper. The high-voltage winding also has more turns available, giving finer voltage steps. The higher voltage does complicate the insulation, but the current saving outweighs it.
