It's common to put arcing horns on the HV side of a power transformer to short out voltage spikes arriving from lightning strikes along the line.

Why is the wattmeter connected at the primary side of the transformer?
In general, you can install a wattmeter on the primary or the secondary side of a transformer (it depends what you are trying to measure). But if you are conducting an open- and short-circuit test (to find the transformer's losses), then the wattmeter is connected to the primary side because you want to measure the total (primary + secondary) losses and that is only achievable from the primary side.
Does the fuse on the primary side of a transformer protect the secondary side?
Yes, but it's usual to have fuses on both sides of the transformer.
What is the different between et up and set down transformer?
the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.
Where is the high side of transformer on open circuit test?
high voltage side call primary
Why you uluminium on primary side of transformer?
This isn't the case. You can have aluminium or copper on primary or secondary side of a transformer.

What the purpose of the H1 terminal on a transformer?
The terminals H1 and H2 an a transformer indicate the primary side of the transformer. The secondary side is usually identified as X1 and X2.
What is the different between et up and set down transformer?
the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side
What is the resistance of the secondary of a 24 volt transformer?
For the 120/24V transformer, the primary side is around 50ohm, the secondary side is 2~
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding.

Can one intentionally short ct to one side of transformer?
yes........ we can short circuit the other side of the winding wen the primary is excited.... but we shouldn't apply rated voltage to the primary.. this method is used in the short circuit test of the transformer to find the parameters of the transformer.....
Is possible to put 3 phase transformer primary as secondary and secondary as primary?
A: The only way can be possible if the transformer is an isolation type. Yes, you can put the input into the secondary side. This will create a step-up transformer.
If a dc voltage of 12v is added to the secondary of step down transformer and rating of transformer is 220 input and 12v output what will be the result from primary of transformer?
A DC voltage added to one side of a transformer has no effect on the other side.
What is high voltage side?
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.
