You are probably describing a transformer. The 'high voltage side' of a transformer is the winding with the greatest number of terms. It could be the primary or the secondary winding.

How you understand which side of a transformer is high voltage side and low voltage side?
at high voltage side, current is low. hence the size of conductors is reduced or small. At low voltage side, current is high. Hence the size of conductors is large.
Why open circuit test is performed on low voltage side?
generally open circuit test is performed on the low voltage side.....not on high voltage side.... becuase on low voltage side, we can apply that low voltage very easily ( i.e with a less amount of source is required)... whereas on high voltage side, we need a large power source in order to apply full voltage... in short circuit test, we will test on high voltage side by keeping Low voltage side being short circuit.because high voltage side needs less current source than low voltage side....
How do you calculate input voltage of a transformer given both side high and low side impedances and also load with power factor?
The input voltage (primary) and output (secondary) of a transformer is determined by the manufacturer. Transformers are bought to accommodate the voltage that is needed on the primary side and to what voltage is needed on the secondary side.
Why were instrument of a transformer placed on a high voltage side in short circuit test?
I assume "tension" in this question should be replaced with "voltage". Short circuit tests are often performed from the lower voltage side of the transformer, since a lower voltage source is then required to perform the test. Often times the test lab may not have a source that can output a high enough voltage to perform from the high voltage winding.
How is high voltage used for the electricity that is delivered to your homes from regional generating stations?
The electricity that is delivered to homes from the regional generating stations uses high voltage in its distribution. This is then transformed from the high voltage on the primary side of the transformer to a lower voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. The common household voltage throughout North America is 120/240 volts obtained from the secondary windings of the step down utility owned transformer.

Where is the high side of transformer on open circuit test?
high voltage side call primary
Why does a low voltage circuit create more amperage than a high voltage circuit?
That depends on what you mean. If you mean why does a circuit which has a high voltage side and a low voltage side have a greater average current on the low voltage side, it is probably because of power conservation: P = IV. If this is not what you mean, you will have to be more specific!

How do you step down voltage in transformers?
step up or stepdown is done by the ratio of the number of turns in the primary / secondary coil, large number on high voltage side small number on low voltage side. the wire used on the low voltage side would be thicker than the high.
Why generally the voltage is applied to HV side?
Lower voltages are required if connected to the low voltage side. The testing facility may not have a gen set large enough to test from the high voltage side.
What is meant by high and low voltage sides of transformers?
Transformers are use to step up and step down the voltage of electricity. In a step up transformer, the voltage coming out is higher than the voltage going in so the output is the high side and the input the low side. In a step down transformer, the output is the low side.
Where Tap changer placed in transformers primary side or secondary side?
It's installed on the high-voltage side.
Is transformer side interchangeable?
yes,we can change the transformer side in transmission line as use of high current or high voltage in output.
