The third edition presents new developments, including losses in tank walls and a simpler method to calculate temperatures and flows in directed flow windings, and a chapter on optimization to achieve a low cost transformer design. The book includes a section on correcting the linear impedance boundary method for non-linear materials.

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.

This book focuses on providing an understanding of the technical details of designing traditional single-phase and multiphase power transformers. In this latest edition, which still includes fundamental design equations and theory used to design power transformers, it also provides advanced modeling simulation to further optimize transformer designs. The reader will find this book very helpful for understanding transformer design theory including many practical considerations.- IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, March/April 2020
