Transformers are one of the most critical components of power systems, and engineers need deep, practical knowledge about their design and operation. Blending theory and practice, this second edition of a bestseller helps engineers design better transformers, apply advanced numerical field computations more effectively, and solve operational and maintenance issues. It also provides important information about diagnostics and transformer-system interactions. Other topics covered include eddy and stray loss evaluation and control, transient response, short-circuit withstand and strength, and…mehr
Transformers are one of the most critical components of power systems, and engineers need deep, practical knowledge about their design and operation. Blending theory and practice, this second edition of a bestseller helps engineers design better transformers, apply advanced numerical field computations more effectively, and solve operational and maintenance issues. It also provides important information about diagnostics and transformer-system interactions. Other topics covered include eddy and stray loss evaluation and control, transient response, short-circuit withstand and strength, and insulation design. Completely updated and expanded, this edition also includes three new chapters.
