Synopsis
Transform the way you understand electric power with clear, practical guidance on transformers. This edition explains how a magnetic circuit links primary and secondary coils to transfer power, reduce voltage, and serve near-consumer needs. It blends theory with hands‑on testing and design methods for engineers and curious readers.
The book builds from fundamental principles to real-world applications, showing how induction, regulation, and efficiency fit together. It covers how to measure core loss, copper loss, and how to assess transformer performance under different loads and frequencies. Practical tests, design approaches, and case examples help you connect theory to practice.
- Basic operation: how power moves between coils through the magnetic field.
- Key concepts: magnetomotive force, magnetic reluctance, self-induction, and induction laws.
- How to evaluate regulation, losses, and efficiency in transformers of various sizes.
- Testing and design methods to estimate performance and compare commercial types.
Ideal for readers of engineering texts, students, and professionals seeking a solid grounding in transformer theory and application.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a straightforward and comprehensive account of the alternating current transformer, a device that transfers power through space without relative motion between the two coils. The author begins by reviewing the fundamental principles of the magnetic circuit and the laws of magnetic induction. He next takes up the effects of the current in one coil upon the other, and develops equations that describe the secondary e.m.f. induced and the counter e.m.f. on the primary. The graphical representation of pressure relations is then discussed, and the author shows how to determine the regulation of transformers for any load and for any power factor. The final chapter deals with the efficiency of transformers, and the author provides a method for calculating the all-day efficiency of a transformer operating on a variable load. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand the operation of transformers, and it is also a useful reference for electrical engineers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
