J & P Transformer Book

Informationen zum Autor Consultant specializing in power transformers, primarily working for utilities. In this context he has established working relationships with transformer manufacturers on several continents. His background with Ferranti and the UK's Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) included transformer design and the management and maintenance of transformer-based systems. Klappentext The J&P Transformer Book has been in print for 80 years, and is renowned internationally as the definitive reference work covering the design, construction, installation, monitoring and maintenance of power transformers - in electricity generation and distribution, electricity substations, and industrial applications. The broad scope of the Transformer Book and its practical focus makes it ideal reading for graduate engineers embarking on a design career, students of electrical engineering, and a broader audience in the power engineering and transformer manufacturing sectors. However, it is not a text to read once and consign to the shelf, but rather a hard-working working reference - for the seasoned professional as well as the novice. The thirteenth edition includes new sections and updates throughout, referencing the latest International (IEC) and European standards. New material includes coverage of recent developments in amorphous steels, and expanded coverage of the competitive area of small distribution transformers. Zusammenfassung Suitable for those who are involved in the engineering processes associated with power delivery, and particularly with transformer design, manufacture, testing, procurement, application, operation, maintenance, condition assessment and life extension, this book contains discussions on moisture equilibrium in the insulation system.
