Synopsis

Unlock practical insights into alternating-current transformers. Learn how real-world designs cut losses and improve regulation.

The Design of Alternate-Current Transformers presents a practical view of transformer design, built on actual measurements and comparisons of real machines. It explains common faults in early designs, such as unreliable regulation and high no-load current, and shows how engineers reduce these issues through better core materials, smarter sizing, and smarter copper and iron use. The book includes case studies of Ferranti, Westinghouse, Elwell-Parker, and other major designs, with the goal of guiding better, more efficient builds.

- Understand why regulation matters for customers and how design choices affect voltage stability under load
- See how iron losses, hysteresis, and Foucault currents impact efficiency and operating costs
- Compare different transformer layouts and mechanical constructions, with emphasis on practical trade-offs
- Learn how to estimate core and copper needs and translate those findings into real designs

Ideal for readers involved in electrical engineering, power distribution, and transformer design seeking concrete, tested guidance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The saving in the first cost of the copper mains being the chief advantage of the system in the eyes of the promoters, the question of the efficiency of this method of supply, except at full load, was not considered. Now, experience has shown that the cost of the annual supply depends largely on the efficiency of the transformers used, and that the loss at light loads is the most important factor in determining this cost. Hence the design of alternate-current transformers needs more careful attention as the demand for higher efficiency arises. I have endeavoured in the following pages to describe as simply as possible the principles involved in the construction of transformers on economic lines, both as regards first cost and power vyasted when working. To the formulas deduced from these principles I have added several others which are useful when determining quickly the dimensions of the various circuits. To enable more to follow the reasoning, higher mathematics have been avoided, although this omission has necessitated the acceptance of certain well-known formulae without proof. The examples worked out and illustrated show the general procedure of designing transformers of different types to fulfil definite conditions. R. W. WEEKES.
