Re: [RE-wrenches] Autoformer and long AC run

Hi Brad, The auto transformer should work just fine. You should get 4X the efficiency with 1/2 the current and twice the Watts / Volt. I don't know how much benefit is available from paralleling wires of different sizes; it is not recommended practice of course. If you find a source for those

[RE-wrenches] Autoformer and long AC run

The system currently has a 600 foot run of 2-2-4 aluminum from the service to the house loads. The load is often only 120VAC which gives a large voltage drop using only the #2 and #4 conductors. My thought was to install an autotransformer at the load end so that the current runs through the #2 con
