Answer / meenakshi

it has superior voltage regulation,higher efficiency, n
copper saving. and its mainly used to giv boost to
distribution cable for correcting voltage drop,as furnace
transformer for gettn a convenient supply to suit the
furnace winding,as interconnectng transformer n also as
control equipment.
