In a transformer the HT winding carrying the less amount of current and the LT winding carrying high current.Due to the less amount of current, the transformer taping is provided in the HT side with less current rating. This also reduces the arcing effect.

RE: Transformer Taping
Because you take the power in secondary winding only and then you want to divide the output tappings are taken.
