Synopsis

Transform the way you understand electric power with clear, practical guidance on transformers. This edition explains how a magnetic circuit links primary and secondary coils to transfer power, reduce voltage, and serve near-consumer needs. It blends theory with hands‑on testing and design methods for engineers and curious readers.

The book builds from fundamental principles to real-world applications, showing how induction, regulation, and efficiency fit together. It covers how to measure core loss, copper loss, and how to assess transformer performance under different loads and frequencies. Practical tests, design approaches, and case examples help you connect theory to practice.

• Basic operation: how power moves between coils through the magnetic field.


• Key concepts: magnetomotive force, magnetic reluctance, self-induction, and induction laws.


• How to evaluate regulation, losses, and efficiency in transformers of various sizes.


• Testing and design methods to estimate performance and compare commercial types.

Ideal for readers of engineering texts, students, and professionals seeking a solid grounding in transformer theory and application.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following pages originated from a course of University lectures. It is hoped that the book will be of use to the engineer and general reader. Some knowledge of elementary alternating currents is presupposed. 1have found that the student who grasps the theory of the transformer has little difficulty with the more complicated actions and reactions taking place in the induction motor, and is also helped in his study of synchronous apparatus. Chapters I and II are merely introductory. Chapters III to V, carefully studied, should give the reader a thorough knowledge of the transformer. The tests inC hapter VI should be carried out by the student on a few commercial types. The method of design inC hapter VII is offered as a probable improvement over that usually given in text books. I wish to thank the manufacturers for the loan of cuts used inC hapter X. Thanks are also due the nublishers who have maintained their reputation for sparing no effort or expense to make the book mechanically as perfect as possible. I am indebted toM r. A. S. Kalenborn for reading proofs. F. G. Baum. Stanford Univ., Cal.
