Bch auto transformer starters can be used with any standard squirrelcage induction motor. V l is the linetoline voltage, and v p is the phasetoneutral voltage. Motor connections are the same as for dol starting. Electrical and computer engineering iit armour college. How does a transformer work working principle electrical. Pdf fourwinding transformer and autotransformer modeling for. Auto transformer is kind of electrical transformer where primary and secondary shares same common single winding theory of auto transformer. Motor start theory auto transformers thermal overload 3 phase auto transformer b start contactor a start contactor run contactor 3 m the auto transformer starter employs an auto transformer to reduce the voltage during the start period. An auto transformer is similar to a two winding transformer but differ in the way the primary and secondary winding are interrelated. A control transformer is required when the control circuit voltage is different from. An autotransformer is generally used either for providing a second leg in a single phase system giving you 120240 vac from a single 120 vac line or to provide a 120 vac tap from a 240 vac. An ordinary transformer consists of two windings called primary winding and secondary winding. In this video well be looking at how a transformer works covering the basics with transformer working animations.
An autotransformer is a kind of transformer with only one winding, but one or more taps. But in two windings transformer two different windings are used for primary and secondary purpose. Pdf a lecture on autotransformers for power engineering students. Combinations of delta and wye transformer connections 8. A transformer can not act as a phase changing device and change singlephase into threephase or threephase into single phase. The transformer has a range of output voltage taps that can be used to set the start voltage. Autotransformer theory in an auto transformer, one single winding is used as primary winding as well as secondary winding.
A lecture on autotransformers intended specifically for power. An autotransformer is an electrical transformer having only single winding which acts as both primary and secondary, so in input and output connected to shared. In this lesson we shall learn about the working principle of another type of transformer called autotransformer and its uses. In this method, the starting current is limited by using a threephase auto transformer to reduce the initial stator applied voltage. Working principle of autotransformer your electrical guide. A part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary sides. Follow instructions in the transformer manual carefully.
