A 15 KVA Three-Phase Auto Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used to step up or step down voltage in three-phase power systems. It is designed to efficiently transfer electrical energy between circuits with a single winding, making it compact and cost-effective. This transformer is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and power distribution applications.

Working Principle
Unlike conventional isolation transformers, an auto transformer has a single winding with taps at different points to provide the required voltage levels. It operates by transferring electrical energy through both conduction and induction, making it more efficient with lower copper losses.
Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring different voltage levels
- Power distribution in commercial buildings
- Voltage adjustment for imported/exported equipment
- Generator and motor applications
- HVAC systems and electrical testing setups
