Autotransformer Example
How did the load current become 60A? 15A provided directly to the load by VHS 45A provided to the load by transformer action
Example 3.1
A 400-turn autotransformer, operating in the step-down mode with a 25% tap, supplies a 4.8-kVA, 0.85 Fp lagging load. The input to the transformer is 2400-V, 60-Hz. Neglecting the small losses and leakage effects, determine (a) the load current, (b) the incoming line current, (c) the transformed current, (d) the apparent power conducted and the apparent power transformed.
a = NHS / NLS = 400/(0.25)(400) = 4 VLS = VHS / a = 2400 / 4 = 600 V ILS = 4800 VA / 600 V = 8 A = ILOAD
(b) ILINE = IHS = ILS / a = 8 A / 4 = 2 A (c) ITR = ILS IHS = (8 2) A = 6 A (d) Scond = IHSVLS = (2 A)(600 V) = 1200 VA Strans = ITRVLS = (6 A)(600 V) = 3600 VA

Example 3.2
A 10-kVA, 60-Hz, 2400240-V distribution transformer is reconnected for use as a step-up autotransformer with a 2640-V output and a 2400-V input. Determine
(a) the rated primary and secondary currents when connected as an autotransformer; (b) the apparent-power rating when connected as an autotransformer.

Buck-Boost Transformer
Buck>Subtract the low-voltage output from the line voltage Boost >>> Add the low-voltage output to the line voltage
120/240 V operation
Example 3.3
The rated voltage of an induction motor driving an air conditioner is 230-V. The utilization voltage is 212-V.
(a) Select a buck-boost transformer and indicate the appropriate connections that will closely approximate the required voltage. (b) Repeat (a), assuming the utilization voltage is 246-V.
