Auto-transformer makes effective saving on copper and copper losses, when its transformation ratio is

A Approximately equal to one
B Less than one
C Great than one
D Cannot be found

Correct Answer: Approximately equal to one

Copper In auto transformer /copper in two-winding transformer = 1- T2/T1. This means that an auto transformer requires the use of lesser quantity of copper given by the ratio of turns. Hence, if the transformation ratio is approximately equal to one, then the copper saving is good and the copper loss is less.

For large farms to be as productive as they can be, their owners need to invest heavily in expensive machinery. This typically requires them to go into considerable debt, and interest on this debt is then a significant fixed cost. This high fixed cost makes those farmers vulnerable to operating losses if the price of their products drop.
