a transformer with a single winding, output being taken from taps
A transformer with only one coil The entire coil acts as a primary winding while part of it also acts as a secondary winding; or the entire coil acts as a secondary winding while part of it also acts as a primary winding It is simple and low cost, but does not provide electrical isolation
A transformer in which both primary and secondary coils have turns in common Step-up or step-down of voltage is accomplished by taps on common winding
A transformer used to step voltage up or down Because its primary and secondary windings share common turns, it does not provide isolation
Transformer with at least part of the windings common to both the primary and secondary circuits, with very low losses It may be used to change electric voltage from a generator to the higher voltage needed for efficient transmission over power lines They can also be used to change a two-wire electrical supply to a three-wire system
A transformer in which part of the primary winding is used as a secondary winding, or vice versa; called also a compensator or balancing coil
Transformer in which both primary and secondary coils have turns in common Step up or step down of voltage in accomplished by taps in common winding
A transformer in which part of one winding is common to both the primary and the secondary circuits associated with that winding
a transformer with a single coil The entire length of the coil acts as a primary winding; only part of the winding functions as a secondary winding It is used primarily as a device to reduce inrush current for motor starting
A transformer that uses a common winding for both the primary and secondary windings, giving it distinct advantages, both in economy and size, over two-winding transformers when the ratio of transformation is in the order of three-to-one or less (for example, from 500 kV to 230 kV and from 230 kV to 115 kV)
A transformer having an internal feedback winding for improved signal transfer accuracy, especially at higher power levels When used in audio power amplifiers, autotransformers greatly reduce the distortion otherwise introduced by output transformer nonlinearities Rarely required except for the highest of output power levels
