H1 is connected to a bushing and one outer hv winding.
H2 is connected to a bushing. The wire from the bushing is the
common to the tap.
The tap wiring (1 through 5) run down between the LV and HV windings
attaching near the bottom of the winding.
There is no hv center connection to the core. It's a single winding
which is wound around the LV winding. H1 appears to be nearest the
inside of the coil, so the H2 would end up towards the outer side
nearest the outer core. That's why I referenced H2 to RF ground.
However, I doubt it makes any difference which hv bushing runs to
the core, otherwise, we probably would have had issues in the past by now.
Two HV coils would make no sense (electrically) for single phase
buck-boost transformer (a few hundred volts). My diagram on the pig
for the hv side shows a single coil with the tap diagram in the
center, however, that doesn't indicate two coils. The taps must be
on one end of the winding for the typical few hundred volt taps.
Take care,
Bart

Hi Bart,
When you say H2 is the side closes to the core, are you saying the
inner winding of the H2 coil goes to the bushing. Could you
describe the HV winding geometry?? one coil or two??? and how
the inner/outer windings are connected??? My nameplate suggest
two HV coils, but if this is the case, it would make no sense to me
why the inner winding of one of the coils would be brought out to
the HV bushing. Everything you have said would make perfect sense
if there was only one HV coil.
