AutotransformersAutotransformers are transformers with a common winding in which primary and secondary are not galvanically/electrically separated. This transformer construction is considerable lighter and smaller than a similar isolating transformer. Some typical applications are:
Autotransformers are not able to eliminate earth faults, all earth fault problems will be propagated through the transformer, resulting in a considerable risk to safety. |
