Transformer Design Principles: With Applications to Core-Form Power Transformers

by Robert M. Del Vecchio, Bertrand Poulin, Rajendra Ahuja

Transformer Design Principles presents the theory of transformer operation and the methods and techniques of designing them. It emphasizes the physical principles and mathematical tools for simulating transformer behavior, including modern computer techniques. The scope of the book includes types of construction, circuit analysis, mechanical aspects of design, high voltage insulation requirements, and cooling design. The authors also address test procedures and reliability methods to assure successful design and discuss the economic analysis of designs. Summarizing material currently scattered in the literature, this book will serve as both an excellent working reference book and a learning tool.
