The main advantage i
s that it
s cheaper. Since U do not have 2 separate windings, it'
s cheaper to manufacture. Unfortunately, it's not isolated.
AutoTransformers are used for converting USA-2-Euro voltages
and vice-versa. BUT, since one leg is common to both, U do not
have electrical isolation from primary to secondary.

What is the difference between double wound transformer and an auto transformer?

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.

What happen when the polarity of transformer reversed?

You cannot 'reverse' the polarity of a transformer -it is either wound with 'additive polarity' or 'subtractive polarity', and there's not much you can do about it! For a single transformer, its polarity doesn't really matter. But if you are going to parallel two transformers, then you must know the polarity of each transformer in order to avoid harmful circulating currents in their secondary windings.

How do you convert a 110volt turbo oven to 220volt purchased in America you live in UK?

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.


Why use a step down trans former when the lower voltage is available?

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.
