Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A factory requires a transformer that can step down from 480V to 240V for machinery. Analyze whether an auto-transformer or a two-winding transformer would be more suitable based on size and efficiency.

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-offs between efficiency and safety.

Question 2

During a motor starting application, an electric motor has high current demands. Discuss how using an auto-transformer can mitigate inrush currents.

💡 Hint: Think about the effects of starting voltages on current draw.
