Opis

This book is a useful guide for practicing engineers to undertake new designs, cost optimization, design automation etc., without the need for external consultancy. It gives “step by step” procedures of designing a transformer so that engineers without prior knowledge of design can acquire reasonable proficiency of designing a transformer.

Recenzje

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.
