About Transformer Design Principles: With Applications To
Product Description Updating and reorganizing the valuable information in the first edition to enhance logical development, Transformer Design Principles: With Applications to Core-Form Power Transformers, Second Edition remains focused on the basic physical concepts behind transformer design and operation. Starting with first principles, this book develops the reader’s understanding of the rationale behind design practices by illustrating how basic formulae and modeling procedures are derived and used. Simplifies presentation and emphasizes fundamentals, making it easy to apply presented results to your own designs The models, formulae, and methods illustrated in this book cover the crucial electrical, mechanical, and thermal aspects that must be satisfied in transformer design. The text also provides detailed mathematical techniques that enable users to implement these models on a computer. The authors take advantage of the increased availability of electromagnetic 2D and 3D finite element programs, using them to make calculations, especially in conjunction with the impedance boundary method for dealing with eddy current losses in high-permeability materials such as tank walls. Includes new or updated material on: Multi terminal transformers Phasors and three-phase connections Impulse generators and air core reactors Methodology for voltage breakdown in oil Zig-zag transformers Winding capacitances Impulse voltage distributions Temperature distributions in the windings and oil Fault type and fault current analyses Although the book’s focus is on power transformers, the transformer circuit models presented can be used in electrical circuits, including large power grids. In addition to the standard transformer types, the book explores multi-terminal transformer models, which allow complicated winding interconnections and are often used in phase shifting and rectifying applications. With its versatile coverage of transformers, this book can be used by practicing design and utility engineers, students, and anyone else who requires knowledge of design and operational characteristics. About the Author Robert M. Del Vecchio received the BS degree in physics from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the MS degree in electrical engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Pittsburgh in 1972. He was a Lecturer in physics at Princeton University, New Jersey, from 1972 to 1976, and an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh from 1976 to 1978. He then joined the Westinghouse R&D Center, Pittsburgh, where he worked on modeling magnetic materials and electrical devices. He joined North American Transformer (now Waukesha Electric Systems) in 1989, where he developed computer models and transformer design tools. He is a member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society and Magnetics Society. He has served on the IEEE Transformers Committee, the IEC, and a Cigre committee. Currently, he is a consultant. Bertrand Poulin received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering from École Polytechnique Université de Montréal in 1978 and his MS degree in High Voltage Engineering in 1988 from the same University. Bertrand started his carreer in a small repair facility for motors, generators and transformers in Montréal in 1978 as a technical advisor. In 1980, he joined the transformer division of ASEA in Varennes, Canada as a test engineer and later as a design and R&D engineer. In 1992, he joined North American Transformer where he was involved in testing and R&D and finally manager of R&D and testing. In 1999, he went back to ABB in Varennes where he holds currently the position of Technical Manager for the Varennes facility and Senior Principal Engineer for the Power Transformer Division of ABB worldwide. He is a member of IEEE Power and Energy Society, an active member of the Transformers Committee, and a registered Professional Engineer in Québec, Canada. Pierre Feghali, PE,
