Expert Solution
Step 1

In the problem, it is asked to design an auto-transformer whose primary voltage is 720 V and the secondary voltage is 600 V from a 600/120 V conventional transformer. 

The current rating of the primary coil of the transformer is determined as:

Ip=15 kVA600 V=25 A

The current rating of the secondary coil of the transformer is determined as:

Is=15 kVA120 V=125 A
