Features

  • Provides new discussions of quiet converter design, rotary transformer design, planar transformer design guidelines, and planar construction
  • Includes numerous design procedures that will be of great importance to engineers in the electronics and aerospace industries
  • Presents much of the material in tabular form to assist designers in selecting tradeoffs best-suited for a particular application
  • Covers magnetic design theory with all of the relevant formulas

    • Summary

    Extensively revised and expanded to present the state-of-the-art in the field of magnetic design, this third edition presents a practical approach to transformer and inductor design and covers extensively essential topics such as the area product, Ap, and core geometry, Kg. The book provides complete information on magnetic materials and core characteristics using step-by-step design examples and presents all the key components for the design of lightweight, high-frequency aerospace transformers or low-frequency commercial transformers. Written by a specialist with more than 47 years of experience in the field, this volume covers magnetic design theory with all of the relevant formulas.

    Editorial Reviews

    "Not only would the expert working on a specific design benefit from this handbook, but also the general reader would get a very good working knowledge on transformer design because the book covers fundamentals and magnetic material characteristics in a very clearly written, easy-to-read style. … Along with all of the practical design examples, the book is filled with clear and well-annotated illustrations and circuit schematics that provide great insight; the many references make this book a must have for anyone designing transformers or inductors."
    -IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Feb. 2005


    "This book is a must for engineers doing magnetic design. Whether you are working on high "rel" state of the art design or high volume, low cost production, this book will help you."
    -Robert G. Noah, Application Engineering Manager (retired), Magnetics, Division of Spang and Company
