INTRODUCTION
Modeling techniques are currently utilized for
Power system studies
The determination of transformer parameters

Steps in the development of the

transformer equivalent circuit.

Approximate transformer
equivalent circuits.

ADVANTAGES OF AUTO
TRANSFORMER

It requires less volume of core and insulating material

It requires less amount of copper for windings
Size, weight and cost of transformer are less
As iron and copper losses are less, its efficiency is more
It has less leakage flux and leakage reactance. Therefore
its voltage regulation is less.

(including magnetization branch)

APPLICATIONS
Used in both synchronous motor and induction motors at
starting.
Used in electrical apparatus testing labs
As boosters in AC feeders to increase the voltage levels.
