A buck/boost transformer is used to lower (buck) or raise (boost) the utility supplied voltage to the non-standard voltage required by some equipment, can also be used to raise the voltage that has dropped from traveling too long of a distance.

Conversion of 2-winding transformer into auto transformer?

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 a Dy11 vector group transformer be connected to a Yd1 vector group transformer source?

In series, yes. In parallel, nope! Putting a Yd1 transformer in series with a Dy11 transformer would result in the output of the Dy11 transformer being identical to the input of the Yd1 transformer with the exception of the voltage magnitude - this will change depending on the winding ratio's on both transformers. But, in regards to other properties of the voltage, the phases will in be in phase, with the voltage in-between the two transformers lagging by 30 degrees.


Can I connect current transformer in series?

CT(Current Transformer) is used to measure current flowing in the circuit. Current can be fully drawn or sensed in series condition. That's why , it is connected in series. In parallel , the current is divided; and hence the total current cannot be measured)


What is a transformer devastator used for?

This is an invalid question. Devastator was a character in the "Transformers" series. He wasn't "used for" anything, as he was an individual in the series.


What is the process for furnace transformer replacement?

The process for furnace transformer replacement involves turning off the power supply, disconnecting the old transformer, installing the new transformer, and reconnecting the power supply. It is important to follow safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.


Can a 1500KVA transformer feed a 1600A 480V service?

No, a 1500KVA transformer is not large enough to handle a 1600A load at 480V. The transformer should have a higher kVA rating to support the current demand of 1600A. A transformer with a minimum capacity of 1920KVA would be needed for this application.
