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

Updating and reorganizing the valuable information in the first edition to enhance logical development, Transformer Design Principles: With Applications to Core-Form Power Transformers, Second Edition remains focused on the basic physical concepts behind transformer design and operation. Starting with first principles, this book develops the reader’s understanding of the rationale behind design practices by illustrating how basic formulae and modeling procedures are derived and used.
Simplifies presentation and emphasizes fundamentals, making it easy to apply presented results to your own designs
The models, formulae, and methods illustrated in this book cover the crucial electrical, mechanical, and thermal aspects that must be satisfied in transformer design. The text also provides detailed mathematical techniques that enable users to implement these models on a computer. The authors take advantage of the increased availability of electromagnetic 2D and 3D finite element programs, using them to make calculations, especially in conjunction with the impedance boundary method for dealing with eddy current losses in high-permeability materials such as tank walls.
Includes new or updated material on:
Multi terminal transformers
Phasors and three-phase connections
Impulse generators and air core reactors
Methodology for voltage breakdown in oil
Zig-zag transformers
Winding capacitances
Impulse voltage distributions
