why autotransformers are not safe for supplying low voltage
from a high voltage source?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / sidharth
An autotransformer doesn't provide electrical isolation between its windings like an ordinary transfomer. hence, the maximum limit for voltage transformation in an autotransformer is 3:1. beyond this value, it is safer to use a 2 winding transformer.

Answer / iftikhar
It is unsafe for stepping down a high voltage to low voltage
in an auto transformer, if an open circuit develops in the
common portion of winding then full primary voltage will
appear across the load which could be dangerous to both the
persons and the equipment.

Answer / gourav bapna
autotransformer is a single winding transformer with unity
ratio.that implies a 1:1 ratio which cannot step up voltage
from a low voltage source.
