9780331788105: Principles of Transformer Design (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Master the science of transformer design with a comprehensive guide to regulation, cooling, and performance.

This reference work, Principles of Transformer Design, covers the key concepts engineers use to plan and optimize transformers for different applications. It explains how single- and three-phase systems regulate voltage, and how moving-iron and induction regulators fit into practical power networks.

The book frames the topic with clear explanations of cooling methods, losses, and temperature rise, then moves into design details for various transformer types. It blends theory with calculation approaches, supplying practical guidance on selecting components, estimating efficiency, and predicting performance under normal and overload conditions.
  • How voltage regulation and boosting devices affect feeder pressure in real systems
  • Cooling strategies from air blast to water cooling and external surface methods
  • Losses, efficiency, and temperature rise calculations for safe, reliable operation
  • Design considerations for auto-, polyphase, shell-type, and large transformers
Ideal for engineers, students, and technicians working with electrical transformers.
