    06 Auto Transformer

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Naguib
    This document summarizes the principles and operation of an autotransformer motor starter. It describes how an autotransformer starter uses a single winding to reduce voltage and current during motor starting for reduced voltage starting. The document compares autotransformers to two-winding transformers and lists the advantages of fewer windings and cores but also the disadvantages of no isolation. It includes schematic diagrams of the control circuit and power circuit and describes the operation of the autotransformer starter.

    Principle of Autotransformer
    • Autotransformer (AT) is a transformer consisting of a
    single winding with electrical connection points called
    taps.
    • Autotransformer starting uses a step-down
    autotransformer (single-winding transformer) to
    reduce the line voltage.
    • Autotransformer starters offer the greatest reduction
    of line current of any reduced-voltage starting
    method.
    • Multiple taps on the transformer permit the voltage,
    current, and torque to be adjusted to satisfy many
    different starting conditions.
    • The autotransformer starter can be used for any
    squirrel-cage motor.
    Transformer vs Autotransformer

    Transformer Auto Transformer


    Different between 2 winding
    transformer & auto transformer
    • 2 winding transformer • single winding tranformer
    (autotansformer)

    • has two separate magnetically


    coupled coils with no electrical
    connection between them
    • Transformers are made up from
    primary and secondary coils (called • To change the level of voltage using
    windings) a single coil
    Advantages of Autotransformer
    • Has fewer windings and smaller core, therefore it is lighter and less
    costly than a two-winding transformer.

    • Copper loss in the common portion of the winding will be less, so


    efficiency will be slightly more

    • Lower leakage reactance, lower exciting current.

    • Variable output voltage can be obtained.


    Disadvantages of Autotransformer
    • No isolation (direct connection) between HV and LV side. In fact, due to
    an open circuit, the voltage on the load side may shoot up to
    dangerously high voltage causing damage to equipment.

    • This unexpected rise in the voltage on the LV side is potentially


    dangerous to the personnel working on the LV side.

    • The short-circuit current is much larger than for normal two-winding

    Operation
    • First to start press push button START (Green) then the contactor MC2,
    MC3, MC4 and Timer will turn ON.
    • Until timer reach the setting time MC2, MC3, MC4 and timer will turn
    OFF.
    • Then MC1 and Indicator Run (Green) will turn ON.
    • To stop press push button STOP (Red) and MC1 will turn off then
    indicator stop (Red) will turn ON.
    • For TRIP when the contactor is ON and the running ampere(A) is over
    then the setting ampere(A). The overload will trip then the trip indicator
    (Yellow) will turn ON. To reset the overload press the reset button (Blue)
    on the overload
