Re: Utility transformer
The ability to tap the primary is dependent on the size of the existing conductors, will they be able to handle the additional load?
The method of tapping depends on the existing transformer and cable.

Re: Utility transformer
If this is a utility owned transformer, why are you considering tapping into the cable? If this is a newer type transformer, it is probably dead front construction and probably has feed through bushings that will allow you to install your new run right off the bushings with another set of elbow terminators.
