Sorry Willis, I should have stayed with my original terminology that is a buck transformer. They work almost the same as an autotransformer.

One small advantage to the buck transformer configuation is that the secondary winding does not have to be connected to the primary at the transformer. You can plug in the primary to the 115 AC and connect the 6V or 12V secondary in series with one line of the heating element. Just make sure it is bucking not aiding.

Once again sorry I used autransformer in my last reply.
