What is auto transformer?

Answer Posted / anil kumar

An Ordinary Transformer consists of two windings called
primary winding and secondary winding.These two windings
are magnetically coupled and electrically isolated. But the
transformer in which a part of windings is common to both
primary and secondary is called Auto Transformer. These two
windings are not only magnetically coupled but also
electrically coupled.The input to the transformer is
constant but the output can be varied by varying the
tappings
