Description
Book SynopsisThis book is based on the author''s 50+ years experience in the power and distribution transformer industry. The first few chapters of the book provide a step-by-step procedures of transformer design. Engineers without prior knowledge or exposure to design can follow the procedures and calculation methods to acquire reasonable proficiency necessary to designing a transformer.
Although the transformer is a mature product, engineers working in the industry need to understand its fundamentals oand design to enable them to offer products to meet the challenging demands of the power system and the customer. This book can function as a useful guide for practicing engineers to undertake new designs, cost optimization, design automation etc., without the need for external help or consultancy.
The book extensively covers the design processes with necessary data and calculations from a wide variety of transformers, including dry-type cast resin
Trade Review
Power & Distribution Transformers: Practical Design Guide is, as the name indicates, a design guide for practicing transformer designers with step-by-step explanation of various design procedures. Even though, there are many reputed books giving theoretical aspects of transformers, there are only a very few books guiding beginners with the design procedure, formulae, design data and calculations with worked out actual designs. Author has incorporated latest trends in all above areas of design. Author has collected and collated design data from various sources, and presented it in an easy-to -use format, after validating these from his long experience. He has also updated and supplemented many topics based on the developmental work done during his career. Brevity is the essence of this book. Designers will find it worth to keep this reference volume in their shelves for day-to-day work. In today’s industrial world where apprenticeship or learning by sitting next to Nellie is no more prevalent, such transformer books meet a dire need.
