A 120:480-V, 10-kVA step-up two-winding transformer is to be used as an autotransformer to supply a 120-V circuit from a 600-V source (a step-down autotransformer). When it is tested as a two-winding transformer at rated load, unity power factor, its efficiency is 97.9 %.  1.Show the connection diagram of the transformer converted as an autotransformer and identify which is the series winding Nse and the common winding Nc.
