✦ Synopsis

Research and development of transformers is an area of study and development that will always exist and continue to match growth in technology as demands change. It is a field where new materials will change designs, and demand for reduced size, higher performance, longer life-cycles, and lower cost will continue to be issues requiring on-going research and study. Transformer Design Principles presents the theory of transformer operation and the methods and techniques of designing them and emphasizes the physical principles and the mathematical tools to stimulate transformer behavior while in service, including modern computer techniques for performing simulations. The scope of the book includes types of construction, circuit analysis, mechanical aspects of design, high voltage insulation requirements, and cooling design. The authors have also included test procedures and reliability methods to assure successful designs, with the economic analysis of designs covered as well. Summarizing ma
