This comprehensive reference offers ready access to the most up-to-date information on all facets of electronic transformer design. Coverage includes full treatments of the principles of transformer operation and behavior, construction, cooling considerations, and overload protection. This edition is thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest information on new core and construction materials and gaseous insulants. Contains expanded coverage of size versus rating as affected by new cooling techniques, polyphase capacitor input filters material (including a discussion of semiconductor/rectifier technology) and saturating devices. New chapters cover inverter transformers, inverter circuits, high voltage applications, and the design of special transformers.
