Discuss limitations on autotransformers.

What will be an ideal response?


There are certain applications for which autotransformers should not be used. For example, an autotransformer should not be used to step down 2400 to 120 V for a lighting load. Recall that the primary and secondary windings of the autotransformer are connected electrically through the same winding. Thus, if the low-voltage section is open circuited, the entire high-voltage input will be applied across the low-voltage output.
