- An autotransformer primarily performs the task of adjusting voltage in the output side.
- Unlike conventional transformers, it has a single winding shared by both the primary and secondary circuits. By tapping different points along the winding, it can vary the voltage levels, making it suitable for applications where voltage adjustment is necessary.
- Autotransformers do not provide electrical isolation between the input and output, which distinguishes them from transformers designed for isolation purposes.
