What is the different of induction transformer and automatic transformer?

Neither of these terms is normally applied to a transformer. You may be thinking of a 'mutual tranformer' and an 'autotransformer'. If so, then a 'mutual transformer' is a transformer which has electrically-isolated primary and secondary windings, whereas an 'autotranformer' (the term, 'auto', is misleading and has nothing to do with the transformer being 'automatic'!) has a common and series winding, meaning that the primary and secondary sides are electrically connected to each other.


What is VA burden in electrical engineering?

The term 'burden' is used to describe the secondary load applied to an instrument transformer; the reason for this is so that it is not confused with the 'load' supplied by the high-voltage circuit to which the transformer's primary is connected. A burden is either a measuring instruments (ammeter,voltmeter, wattmeter, etc.) or protective relay, depending on the function of the instrument transformer. 'V.A' is the symbol for 'volt ampere', which defines the 'power' rating of the instrument transformer.


What is the difference between VT and PT transformer?

Both are same.AnswerA 'PT' is a 'potential transformer', the preferred term in North America, for what is termed a 'VT', or 'voltage transformer', in Britain. Two names for exactly the same instrument transformer.


What is term for applied science?

Another term for applied science is technology, because technology is science that is used to create stuff.


What's another term used to describe applied science?
