Principles of Transformer Design (1919)

Principles of Transformer Design is a book written by Alfred Still and originally published in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to the design of transformers, covering both theoretical principles and practical considerations. The author begins by discussing the basic principles of electromagnetism and transformer operation, including the transformer equation and the concept of magnetic flux. He then goes on to explore the various types of transformers, including single-phase and three-phase transformers, autotransformers, and instrument transformers, and provides detailed guidance on their design and construction. The book also covers transformer materials, including core materials, insulation, and cooling systems, and includes a discussion of the economic considerations involved in transformer design. Throughout the book, Still provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and techniques involved in transformer design. Principles of Transformer Design remains a valuable resource for electrical engineers and anyone involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of transformers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
