Sorry, but that is just not so. Autotransformers are not uncommon in motor circuits and perform very well.Ok guys here is what it was... My transformer was an autotransformer which is a single coil with a tap, basically an inductor. Since the only load I had on it was my meter the current had nowhere to go and it tripped. When I hooked one a light bulb and tested it worked. Moral of the story, if an autotransformer does not have a (big enough) load it will basically be a short and it won't work.
