Description
Excerpt from Transformers for Single and Multiphase Currents: A Treatise on Their Theory, Construction, and Use
In what may be termed the literature of heavy electrical engineering there is no lack of books on dynamos, motors, cables, and a host of auxiliary apparatus, but transformers have been somewhat neglected. The reason may possibly be that scientists have not considered it worth their trouble to investigate so seemingly simple a piece of apparatus as a transformer, whilst so much more interesting problems connected with machinery in motion remained to be solved. Practical engineers, on the other hand, who, in carrying on their profession, must investigate whatever they design, cannot be expected to publish the result of their researches for the benefit of competitors. Notwithstanding the apparent simplicity of the transformer, a study of this apparatus leads to a number of questions which are not only highly interesting from a purely scientific point of view, but are also very important for practical or commercial reasons. On most alternating-current lighting installations the transformers are at work night and day all the year round, and cause a waste of power which is always going on.
