Question 269Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) Autotransformers. Autotransformers use a single winding to produce voltage transformation, unlike isolation transformers, step-up transformers, and step-down transformers which use separate windings. Autotransformers achieve voltage transformation by tapping into different points along the same winding, allowing for a change in the voltage level without the need for a separate secondary winding. This makes autotransformers more efficient and cost-effective compared to other transformer types. The other options, A) Isolation transformers, B) Step-up transformers, and C) Step-down transformers, all use separate primary and secondary windings to achieve voltage transformation and isolation, and are therefore incorrect for this question.
