what is auto transformer..

Answer / veeru

it is working on the self induction principle but where as
normal t\f works on the principle of mutual induction.it has
only one winding

what is auto transformer..

Answer / raji g

AN AUTO TRANSFORMER IS A SINGLE CORE TRANSFORMER COPPER
WINDINGS ARE WOUNDED ON THEM
WE CAN USE THIS TRANSFORMER WHERE WE WANT REDUCE THE THE
SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND ALSO INCREASE THE VOLTAGE.


eg. LABORATORIES

what is auto transformer..

Answer / kotike chaitanya bharghav

In auto transformer
we can reduce the amount
of copper but in the case of
normal 2 winding t/r
require more copper for
winding
and also there is lot of
losses in normal transformer

1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
