TRANSFORMER DESIGN PRINCIPLES WITH APPLICATIONS TO CORE FORM POWER TRANSFORMERS (H/C)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSFORMERS IS AN AREA OF STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT THAT CONTINUES TO MATCH GROWTH IN TECHNOLOGY AS DEMANDS CHANGE. IT IS A FIELD WHERE NEW MATERIALS CHANGE DESIGNS, AND DEMAND FOR REDUCED SIZE, HIGHER PERFORMANCE, LONGER LIFE-CYCLES, AND LOWER COST CONTINUE TO REQUIRE RESEARCH AND STUDY. THIS WORK PRESENTS THE THEORY OF TRANSFORMER OPERATION AND THE METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF DESIGNING THEM; EMPHASIZING THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES AND THE MATHEMATICAL TOOLS TO STIMULATE TRANSFORMER BEHAVIOUR 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.
