Fundamentals of Power System Transformers

"e;Electric machines"e; and "e;Transformers"e; are some of the most challenging electrical engineering courses offered to students. Their complexity arises from numerous prerequisites, a wide array of topics, and a combination of physics and mathematics, presenting students with significant challenges.Fundamentals of Power System Transformers: Modeling, Analytics, and Operation acts as a stepping stone towards a deeper comprehension of the subject matter, resembling the content covered in a graduate-level course. The contents are condensed into two full chapters and four short chapters to provide a self-taught and self-sufficient book for students to solve all problems without the need for a computer.Key features include: A variety of tests to prepare for entrance or employment exams Comprehensive coverage of transformers analysis, control, and protection Numerous problems and solutions with varying degrees of difficulty Problems that can be solved solely using a calculator, without dependence on any computer-based software Two-choice questions to reinforce readers' understanding of transformers concepts Explores not yet covered subjects including multi-winding auto-transformers, three-phase zigzag transformers, asymmetric and unbalanced three-phase transformers, special transformers, transformer control, and ... This book is aimed at graduate students taking classes in electrical engineering and serves as a valuable reference for researchers and industry professionals interested in emerging technologies and innovations in power system transformers.
