The saving in copper in an autotransformer compared with a two-winding transformer of the same rating is greatest when the ratio is

  • A.very much greater than unity
  • B.very much less than unity
  • C.exactly two to one
  • D.close to unity

Answer: D

The saving is \( 1 - 1/k \) of the copper for a ratio \( k \), so a ratio of 1.1 saves nearly everything and a ratio of ten saves little. That is why autotransformers are used for modest voltage adjustments and starting duty.
