2.3.3. Stepping Down Voltage
Flexibility in Using Split-Phase for Single-Phase Inverters
One case for using the autotransformer to step down voltage could be in installations that use a Split-Phase generator and a
Single-Phase inverter, the autotransformer makes it possible to use all available power from both legs of the generator to power
loads and to charge batteries.
When the available AC power source is not what is needed in the installation the autotransformer can create the needed voltage
by decreasing the incoming voltage.
Other possible cases for stepping down the Voltage are shown in the wiring diagrams below.
