    Lab 07 To Understand The Transformation Ratio of Autotransformer

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Masham
    The document discusses the theory and operation of an autotransformer, which has a single winding that is common to both the primary and secondary circuits, allowing it to be cheaper than a conventional transformer with separate windings but providing less isolation. An autotransformer can be used to step up or step down voltages by tapping the single winding at different points and can provide multiple voltage points along its winding. The document also provides instructions for a lab experiment to observe and measure the transformation ratios of an autotransformer.

    To Understand the Transformation Ratio of Autotransformer

    Pre-Requisite:
    Read the following topics of your textbook (Stephen J. Chapman)
    Chapter 2, Article:

    Theory:
    The primary and secondary windings of an Autotransformer are linked together both electrically and
    magnetically reducing the cost over conventional transformers. Unlike the previous voltage transformer
    which has two electrically isolated windings called: the primary and the secondary, an Autotransformer
    has only one single voltage winding which is common to both sides. This single winding is “tapped” at
    various points along its length to provide a percentage of the primary voltage supply across its
    secondary load. Then the autotransformer has the usual magnetic core but only has one winding, which
    is common to both the primary and secondary circuits.

    Therefore in an autotransformer the primary and secondary windings are linked together both
    electrically and magnetically. The main advantage of this type of transformer design is that it can be
    made a lot cheaper for the same VA rating, but the biggest disadvantage of an autotransformer is that it
    does not have the primary/secondary winding isolation of a conventional double wound transformer.
    The section of winding designated as the primary part of the winding is connected to the AC power
    source with the secondary being part of this primary winding. An autotransformer can also be used to
    step the supply voltage up or down by reversing the connections. If the primary is the total winding and
    is connected to a supply, and the secondary circuit is connected across only a portion of the winding,
    then the secondary voltage is “stepped-down”

    When the primary current IP is flowing through the single winding in the direction of the arrow as
    shown, the secondary current, IS, flows in the opposite direction. Therefore, in the portion of the
    winding that generates the secondary voltage, VS the current flowing out of the winding is the
    difference of IP and IS.
    The Autotransformer can also be constructed with more than one single tapping point. Auto-
    transformers can be used to provide different voltage points along its winding or increase its supply
    voltage with respect to its supply voltage VP as shown.

    Step-Up and Step-Down Transformer:

    Apparatus:
    i. Ammeter
    ii. Voltmeter
    iii. Lamp Board (Used as Load)
    iv. AC Supply Board
    v. Connecting wires

    Procedure:

    1. Make the connections as shown in diagram


    2. Get the connections checked by the supervisor in the lab.
    3. Switch On the supply to the primary side of the transformer and connect the load at the
    output.
    4. Measure the VH, VL, IH and IL by increasing the input primary voltage.
    5. Compare the IL/IH ratio to VH/VL= (VSE+VC)/VC rati
    Observation Table:

    Sr. No. VH VC=VL VSE=VH-VL ISE=IH IL IC=IL-IH IL/IH (VSE+VC)/VC
