because autotransformer used for both purpose step up and step down but dustrubution need step down in case of this autotransformer not used for dustrubtion purpouse
AnswerBecause an autotransformer (not 'auto transformer') does not provide electrical isolation between the secondary and primary.
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
If these are the exact voltages that you need you will need an auto transformer to obtain these voltages. If these voltages are nominal voltages and are of a three phase four wire configuration, the 220 voltage can be obtained from the three phase legs to the neutral (ground) connection. The equation to use is 400/1.73 = 231 volts.
only single coil is use as a primary and secondary coil in a auto transformer.
The transformer you describe is being used as a step-down transformer, and is classified as an electrical machine. The transformer could either be a mutual transformer, consisting of two, electrically-isolated coils, or an auto-transformer which uses a common coil between its primary and secondary circuits.
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.

A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.
A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.
If these are the exact voltages that you need you will need an auto transformer to obtain these voltages. If these voltages are nominal voltages and are of a three phase four wire configuration, the 220 voltage can be obtained from the three phase legs to the neutral (ground) connection. The equation to use is 400/1.73 = 231 volts.

By the use of auto transformer and bridge rectifier we can start dc motor.
In transmission lines there is a massive current, we use CT to make this current measurable i.e. it steps down the current but DT is used to step down the voltage
The "current choking" means that the maximum capacity of a transformer is not being utilized. To prevent it from ever reaching its maximum capacity a lower value of over current protection or fuse is installed. The purpose is to use larger capacity transformer available but using smaller distribution and cables just sufficient for the application to lower the installation cost.
You can, providing you observe the voltage ratings of the windings.

Inductor Use : i) As a Choke in Tubelight Circuit ii) In electronic filter circuits. Transformer Use : i) To step up / down voltage in Generetion, transmission , & distribution system ii) In Power Supply Units (Ac as well as DC) iii) Instrumentation ( for Voltage , Current measurement purpose)
Yes, but the transformer must have both the hot and neutral to work as designed. A auto-transformer is not a variable resistor that could reduce current/voltage by a change in the resistance which could be used in the hot and or neutral wire. An auto-transformer is designed to have the hot wire and neutral on each end of the winding with a variable tap in between. The resistance of the transformer and the inductance will effect the circuit to a limited way if placed in the neutral but this effect will not vary the voltage over the full range, the amount of voltage reduction will vary with the load's current draw, see ohms law. Neither a resistor or a auto-transformer connected in the neutral line only will increase the voltage above the level of the input like a correctly connected auto-transformer . Stanley
