Excerpt from Design of Electrical Machinery, Vol. 2: A Treatise for the Use, Primarily, of Students in Electrical Engineering Courses
The purpose of this volume is to supply a manual on Transformer Design. It contains what the author believes will be of most service to the student who is just entering upon his experience as a designer.
Good electrical apparatus cannot be designed by any set of rules, and it must be recognized that it is not, in general, feasible to develop a real designer in a college course. How ever, there are certain fundamental scientific principles which can be laid down definitely and taught with precision. The student should bear in mind that while there is much in this volume that is of practical value, the main object is to present as clearly and briefly as possible the fundamental principles upon which the design necessarily rests. He also should bear in mind that he cannot expect to get any more than a training that will be of value and assistance to him, if at any time in his later experience he should decide to become a designer.
An electrical designer must also be a mechanical designer. This point is very often overlooked by the beginner. It is possible to devise some very wonderful designs from an electrical standpoint, but which when the mechanical features are considered are absolutely im practical.
