This book covers all the aspects of power transformers-basic fundamentals of theory, design principles, manufacturing technology, materials specifications and standards. It also covers special transformers, including reactors and converter transformers for HVDC systems.
The revised edition of the book has been thoroughly updated and includes new chapters on :
• Controlled shunt reactor
• Short-circuit testing of transformers
• Bushings for Transformers
• RLA and predictive/ preventive maintenance of transformers.
With this coverage, the book will serve as an excellent reference book for practising engineers engaged in the design, manufacture, planning, testing, erection, operation and maintenance of transformers. It will also be useful to students and researchers.
