The correct answer is: A. Primary winding
A tap changer is a device used to change the output voltage of a transformer without changing the input voltage. It does this by connecting different taps to the primary winding of the transformer. The taps are insulated metal strips that are connected to the winding at different points. When a different tap is connected, the output voltage of the transformer changes.
Tap changers are used in a variety of applications, including power distribution, industrial control, and telecommunications. They are also used in some types of electric vehicles.
The following are brief descriptions of each option:
- A. Primary winding: The primary winding is the input winding of a transformer. It is connected to the power source.
- B. Secondary winding: The secondary winding is the output winding of a transformer. It is connected to the load.
- C. High voltage winding: The high voltage winding is the winding that has the higher voltage. It is usually the primary winding.
- D. Any of the above: Tap changers can be used on either the primary or secondary winding of a transformer.
