ABSTRACT
A transformer is ‘‘a static device consisting of a winding, or two or more coupled windings, with or without a magnetic core, for inducing mutual coupling between circuits. Note: Transformers are exclusively used in electric power systems to transfer power by electromagnetic induction between circuits at the same frequency, usually with changed values of voltage and current.’’ [1]
There are numerous types of transformers used in various applications including audio, radio, instrument, and power. This book deals exclusively with power transformer applications involving the transmission and distribution of electrical power. Power transformers are used extensively by traditional electric utility companies, power plants, and industrial plants.
