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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use ordinary transformer in place of auto transformer?
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
How do i convert from 380 volts to 220 volts?
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.
How many coils does a autotransformer have?
only single coil is use as a primary and secondary coil in a auto transformer.
Can you back feed an auto-transformer?
Yes, an auto-transformer can be back-fed, but this practice must be done with caution. Back-feeding refers to supplying power to the transformer from its secondary side, which can lead to safety hazards, including electric shock and equipment damage, if not properly managed. It’s crucial to ensure that the connections and protective measures are appropriately installed and that the transformer is rated for such use. Always consult electrical codes and a qualified electrician when considering back-feeding an auto-transformer.
What type of transformers are used to step down a voltage for general use and what type of systems are they classified as?
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.
Can you use ordinary transformer in place of auto transformer?
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
How do you use distribution transformer as temporary power supply to residential housing?
A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.
What is the Use of distribution transformer?
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.

How do you start a motor without a starter?
By the use of auto transformer and bridge rectifier we can start dc motor.
Can you back feed an auto-transformer?
Yes, an auto-transformer can be back-fed, but this practice must be done with caution. Back-feeding refers to supplying power to the transformer from its secondary side, which can lead to safety hazards, including electric shock and equipment damage, if not properly managed. It’s crucial to ensure that the connections and protective measures are appropriately installed and that the transformer is rated for such use. Always consult electrical codes and a qualified electrician when considering back-feeding an auto-transformer.
Is current transformer is a distribution transformer?
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
What is current choking in transformers?
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.
Why you cant use step up transformer for step down purpose?
You can, providing you observe the voltage ratings of the windings.

You can use neutral to autotransformer?
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
