Taps on 20-kV to 38-kV Transformers

Yes you can, just order your x-mers without, but then why would you want to? The taps are for the secondary output not the H.V. side. The internal loss (IR) of a x-mer under high-load conditions will cause a low voltage at your load. Therefore you will need to increase the voltage at the high side to compensate for this loss. A no load voltage check will not reveal this, only under load will you see the voltage drop.

Thank you for your good reply. Actually, the transformer has multiple secondaries for converter application and supposed to have the taps on primary side. Problem is that due to complicated design, manufacturers like to avoid these taps while utlities insist. How can we prove them that these taps are not needed at these voltages if these are really of no use.
