ANSI/IEEE single-phase autotransformer symbol

The single-phase autotransformer form identifies a shared winding path between input and output. Following that common electrical path explains why this device differs from two electrically separate windings even when the voltage transformation purpose is similar.

Form evidence
Autodesk IEEE-oriented Transformers functional form. Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.

A distinction that matters

An autotransformer does not provide the same winding separation as a two-winding transformer.

Single-phase autotransformer

A single-phase autotransformer uses a winding portion shared electrically by its input and output circuits. Its drawing must make the common connection clear because it does not provide winding separation like a two-winding transformer.

A distinction that matters

An autotransformer is not an isolating two-winding transformer.
