Electrical Transformer Theory Handbook Volume 1

The Electrical Transformer Theory Handbook is dedicated to providing current information on techniques and technologies available to assist in extending the life of transformers. Our handbook will discuss testing, monitoring, design, commissioning, retrofitting and other elements involved in keeping the equipment up and running, safely and efficiently.
This practical handbook shows how a these utilities can be put to use, common problems which an owner will face, and which is the most appropriate in a particular situation. Anyone working with transformers will find this a valuable user guide. Theory and mathematics are kept to a minimum, and instead the everyday working of these devices is described. Our covers transformers, control techniques, testing and maintenance procedures, and other useful information.
A wide range of general issues are discussed in this handbook, which is intended for engineers, maintenance personnel, contractors, consulting engineers, and engineering students.

General Definition:

A transformer is a device that transfers energy from one circuit to another by magnetic coupling with no moving parts. It comprises two or more coupled windings, or a single tapped winding and, in most cases, a magnetic core to concentrate magnetic flux. An alternating current in one winding creates a time-varying magnetic flux in the core, which induces a voltage in the other windings. These devices are used to convert between high and low voltages, to change impedance, and to provide isolation between circuits.

The equipment is one of the simplest of electric devices. Its basic design, materials, and principles have changed little over the last one hundred years, yet designs and materials continue to be improved. They are essential for high voltage power transmission, providing an economical means of transmitting power over large distances. The simplicity, reliability, and economy of conversion of voltages by transformers was the principal factor in the selection of alternating current power transmission in the "War of Currents" in the late 1880s.
