Features

  • Provides a concise, practical, and understandable discussion of the many facets of transformers
  • Explores many real-world power engineering problems
  • Reflects the present state of the technology
  • Provides details of specific embodiments of power transformation
  • Includes tables, charts, photographs, and equations that facilitate the reader's understanding of the technical material

    • Summary

    Covering the fundamental theory of electric power transformers, this book provides the background required to understand the basic operation of electromagnetic induction as applied to transformers. The book is divided into three fundamental groupings: one stand-alone chapter is devoted to Theory and Principles, nine chapters individually treat major transformer types, and fourteen chapters cover many ancillary topics associated with power transformers. Throughout the book, tables, charts, photographs, and equations describe the operation and performance of power transformers and facilitate the reader's understanding of the technical material.

    Editorial Reviews

    "… fulfills a distinct need … cover [s] the full breadth of power transformer types appropriate for different applications. … A valuable feature of this book is the fact that it was assembled by an extensive list of contributors, each having a different experience background …They have done a masterful job in putting together a book that should prove to be extremely useful to an engineer who is being newly exposed to power transformers, either in an educational or an industrial setting. I wish that such a book had been available to me when I first entered the power industry."
    -W.J. McNutt in IEEE Power and Energy Review Magazine
