There is no disadvantage with a current transformer -it does exactly what it's supposed to do, that is:
To the load !
A double wound transformer has two separate windings (primary and secondary) that are magnetically coupled, allowing for electrical isolation between the input and output circuits. In contrast, an auto transformer has a single winding that acts as both the primary and secondary, with part of the winding shared between them, which means it provides no electrical isolation. This design makes auto transformers more compact and efficient for certain applications, but they are less versatile in terms of voltage transformation and safety.
The secondary winding of a double wound transformer is 'floating' in that it is not referenced to any other part of the circuit. You choose how to reference it. You cannot accomplish this without a transformer.
A double wound transformer, also known as a two-winding transformer, is primarily used for voltage conversion in electrical systems, allowing for either step-up or step-down voltage levels. It is commonly utilized in power distribution networks to adjust voltage levels for transmission and utilization. Additionally, it facilitates isolation between circuits, enhancing safety and reducing interference in sensitive electronic equipment. Other applications include use in audio equipment for impedance matching and in power supply systems for providing the required voltage to various devices.
When a resistance measurement is taken from both primary leads tied together to both secondary leads also tied together in a transformer, and the resistance obtained is 200 Ohms -- not safe in my book.
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.

do exist! Is there a real question about d.w.t's? On a double wound transformer, the primary winding is isolated from and secondary winding, but still use the same common core.

Buy a double wound step-down transformer (230/115 volts) of he appropriate capacity (kva) . You may have to replace the plug on your oven to match the output socket of the transformer if you buy this in England. Do not buy a single wound (auto transformer) as it can be extremely dangerous if it is wrongly connected.Alwyn.
