The Design of Alternate-Current Transformers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Unlock practical insights into alternating-current transformers. Learn how real-world designs cut losses and improve regulation.

The Design of Alternate-Current Transformers presents a practical view of transformer design, built on actual measurements and comparisons of real machines. It explains common faults in early designs, such as unreliable regulation and high no-load current, and shows how engineers reduce these issues through better core materials, smarter sizing, and smarter copper and iron use. The book includes case studies of Ferranti, Westinghouse, Elwell-Parker, and other major designs, with the goal of guiding better, more efficient builds.

- Understand why regulation matters for customers and how design choices affect voltage stability under load
- See how iron losses, hysteresis, and Foucault currents impact efficiency and operating costs
- Compare different transformer layouts and mechanical constructions, with emphasis on practical trade-offs
- Learn how to estimate core and copper needs and translate those findings into real designs

Ideal for readers involved in electrical engineering, power distribution, and transformer design seeking concrete, tested guidance.
