"Preface I have had many requests to update my book Transformer and Inductor Design Handbook, because of the way power electronics has changed in the past few years. I have been requested to add and expand on the present Chapters. There are now twenty-six Chapters. The new Chapters are autotransformer design, common-mode inductor design, series saturable reactor design, self-saturating magnetic amplifier and designing inductors for a given resistance, all with step-by-step design examples. This book offers a practical approach with design examples for design engineers and system engineers in the electronics industry, as well as the aerospace industry. While there are other books available on electronic transformers, none of them seem to have been written with the user's viewpoint in mind. The material in this book is organized so that the design engineer, student engineer or technician, starting at the beginning of the book and continuing through the end, will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the state of the art in transformer and inductor design. The more experienced engineers and system engineers will find this book a useful tool when designing or evaluating transformers and inductors. Transformers are to be found in virtually all electronic circuits. This book can easily be used to design lightweight, high-frequency aerospace transformers or low-frequency commercial transformers. It is, therefore, a design manual"--

In the newest edition, the reader will learn the basics of transformer design, starting from fundamental principles and ending with advanced model simulations. The electrical, mechanical, and thermal considerations that go into the design of a transformer are discussed with useful design formulas, which are used to ensure that the transformer will operate without overheating and survive various stressful events, such as a lightning strike or a short circuit event. This new edition includes a section on how to correct the linear impedance boundary method for non-linear materials and a simpler method to calculate temperatures and flows in windings with directed flow cooling, using graph theory. It also includes a chapter on optimization with practical suggestions on achieving the lowest cost design with constraints.

Hoping to simplify matters for engineers overwhelmed by inductance calculations, the author brings together an invaluable collection of formulas and tables. For virtually every type of inductor, Dr. Grover provides a single simple formula, together with tables from which essential numerical factors may be interpolated. Starting with a survey of general principles, the text explains circuits with straight filaments; parallel elements of equal length; mutual inductance of unequal parallel filaments and filaments inclined at an angle to each other; and inductance of single-layer coils on rectangular winding forms. Additional topics include the mutual inductance of coaxial circular filaments and of coaxial circular coils; self-inductance of circular coils of rectangular cross section; mutual inductance of solenoid and a coaxial circular filament and coaxial single-layer coils; single-layer coils on cylindrical winding forms; and special types of single-layer coil. 1946 ed.
