For the same output, the autotransformer (with not too large a turns ratio) is smaller in size than a two-winding transformer and has high efficiency as well as superior voltage regulation.

(a) True

(b) False

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) True

Step by step solution

01

Explain about autotransformer.

Autotransformer is a single winding static device which has tappings at the output.

The output voltage is determine on the basis of winding tappings and the polarity of input and output voltage.

Therefore, the size of autotransformer reduced because of tappings.

02

Explain about efficiency of autotransformer

The losses in the autotransformer is less as compared to two winding transformer, because the copper usage in windings is less in autotransformer, as it has single winding.

Hence, efficiency of autotransformer is more than two winding transformer.

Because of reduced voltage drops, the voltage regulation is less.

Thus, the correct option is (a) true.
