Answer / matthew

On an autotransformer there is a physical connection
between the primary and secondary and the voltage variation
is not much so the resistence steps are less. The opposite
is true for double wound transformer.

Answer / ogeerster

WEll in an autotransformer the primary and secondary windings are electrically connected. So if an open circuit takes place across the secondary winding, the primary voltage shows in the secondary winding. (test it for yourself)

While in a double wound transformer, the primary and secondary windings are not electrically connected, so if an open circuit across the secondary winding occurs, the secondary winding will not be affected.

I hope i have helped.
