Application of auto-Transformer
There are various application of an auto-transformer in electric power system. some of them are listed below.
- Widely used in synchronous and induction motors.
- They are used as laboratory transformer, voltage regulator, traction transformer e.t.c.
- It is used as starter to reduce starting voltage in induction motor.
- It is used to fix voltage drop in distribution transformer as well as transmission network as booster transformer.
- It is used to convert fixed inductor into variable inductor.
- It is used in harmonic filter.
- It is used for variable voltage supply.
- They are used to keep constant voltage with varying load.
- They are used to test repaired electronic devices to power slowly.
- They are used for changing the speed of fan.
- They are used to power up an old amplifier and radio.
