2. Auto Transformers
Data:
An autotransformer is an oil-immersed transformer with only one winding and a single coil acting alone; portions of the same winding act as the transformer’s primary and secondary winding sides. Autotransformers are designed to meet specific customer requirements. The following describes the general product features and performance factors for autotransformers. autotransformers are generally available in single- and three-phase configurations in various voltages and ratings suitable for multiple commercial and industrial applications.
Description:
Variable Voltage Adjustment
The autotransformer’s single winding can be tapped at multiple points, providing a range of turn ratios for variable output voltage. This flexibility suits various applications, including step-up and step-down transformations.
Compact and Lightweight
With its single-winding construction, the autotransformer is significantly smaller and lighter than isolation transformers of comparable capacity. Since part of the winding does “double duty,” autotransformers often have the advantage of being smaller, lighter, and cost-optimized, with lower leakage reactance, losses, and excitation current. This compact profile allows for discreet installations without compromising performance.
High Efficiency
Compared to traditional two-winding transformers, the autotransformer exhibits higher efficiency. It requires less excitation current and low losses, contributing to energy savings and reduced operational costs.
Cost-Effective Design
The autotransformer is a cost-effective alternative to conventional double-wound transformers. Its single winding results in a smaller footprint and reduced material requirements, making it an efficient and economical choice.
Enhanced Voltage Regulation
The autotransformer boasts superior voltage regulation due to minimized voltage drop in the single winding’s resistance and reactance. This results in a more stable and reliable voltage output.
Versatile Applications
The autotransformer finds applications in various scenarios, such as compensating voltage drops, starting motors, serving industrial machinery, and acting as a variac in laboratory setups.
Efficient Motor Starting
It excels in reduced-voltage motor starting, significantly reducing current through motor windings, and easing the load on power distribution circuits during startup.
