This book focuses on providing an understanding of the technical details of designing traditional single-phase and multiphase power transformers. In this latest edition, which still includes fundamental design equations and theory used to design power transformers, it also provides advanced modeling simulation to further optimize transformer designs. The reader will find this book very helpful for understanding transformer design theory including many practical considerations. - IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, March/April 2020
