A single-phase electric furnace 
transformer is provided according to the basic principle of the invention, comprising: a single 
magnetic core, said 
magnetic core comprising two side columns and at least one main column; a main 
transformer, comprising a first primary side winding and a first 
secondary side winding which are disposed on said at least one main column, wherein said first primary side winding consists of a first winding and a second winding which are connected in series with each other; and a 
voltage regulating 
autotransformer, which is disposed on one of two side columns of said 
magnetic core, and which comprises a second primary side winding and a second 
secondary side winding, wherein said second 
secondary side winding is an adjustable winding having on-load tap switch, and said adjustable winding is connected in series between the first winding and the second winding of said main 
transformer. The direct effect on the regulating winding and the regulating switch by the over-
voltage of the grid can be avoided in the single-phase electric furnace transformer of the invention, and the 
voltage between two terminals of the primary winding of the main transformer can be reduced. Furthermore, the winding of the voltage regulating transformer is disposed on the side column of the main transformer in the invention, so that the material and the transformer loss can be reduced, and the installation space of the transformer can be decreased.
