Yes, you can use a mutual (2-winding) transformer as an autotransformer, by connecting the two windings in series. For example, if you have a 240:120 V transformer, connecting the two windings in series and supplying the 240-V winding with 240 V can give you a secondary voltage of 360 V. But you must take into account the polarity of the transformer, and realise its capacity will change.

Can you use ordinary transformer in place of auto transformer?
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
Why auto transformer is lighter than conventional type?
because the copper is saved in the auto transformer that is the ratio of weights of copper in auto transformer to normal transformer is (1-(1/a)) where a is transformer ratio
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
What is the difference between variable transformer and ordinary transformer?
Variable transformer may also refer as auto transformer. We can vary the output voltage of the transformer. But in the ordinary transformers output voltage is already designed.
Can you turn a multi-tap ballast into a step down transformer?
A mulit tap ballast is in fact an auto transformer.

What is Auto transformer and ordinary transformer?
auto transformer is a one winding transformer which is are used for step up and step down voltage without chang its power and friquncy
What are the advantages of double wound transformer over a auto transformer?
The difference between a double wound step up transformer and an auto transformer is the double wound on the step up transformer and the single wound on the auto transformer.
What does auto in autotransformer stands for?
"Auto" refers to the single winding used an auto transformer.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
Where can one purchase an Auto Transformer?
One can purchase an Auto Transformer from websites like Mastech Power Supply, Amazon, Ali Express, RS-Online, eBay, Foster Transformer, Farnell and Alibaba.
Why can auto transformer be dangerous?
(An auto-transformer can be dangerous because the primary is not electrically isolated from the secondary. If the auto-transformer is connected to mains power, this is the equivalent of sticking your fingers directly in the wall plug; not a good idea!) aka deceptacons like megatron will kill you.
How to fix a maximum voltage to home appliances?
by using auto transformer or auto stablizers
What is the difference between variable transformer and ordinary transformer?
Variable transformer may also refer as auto transformer. We can vary the output voltage of the transformer. But in the ordinary transformers output voltage is already designed.

Why are used the dot conversion in transformer?
A; Mathematically presented how else can you represent a RATIO
