Transformer Principles and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of transformer operation, maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting. This full-color textbook is designed to develop basic competencies of electrical apprentices and beginning-to-advanced learners. It can be used in a classroom setting, as a self-study text, or as a desktop reference book on advanced transformer wiring connections and applications. Detailed illustrations, descriptive photographs, and concise text are used throughout the book. Content includes:
- Electromagnetism and induction
- Transformer polarity and three-phase connections
- Power quality improvement using transformers and reactors
- Specialized transformer applications
- Transformer maintenance and troubleshooting principles
It begins with a thorough discussion of magnets, magnetism, electromagnetism, and how these apply to transformer operation. Subsequent chapters include the latest information on how transformers are used to reduce harmful effects of harmonics, and how reactors and isolation transformers are used to improve the power quality available to electronic equipment. Many different types of specialized transformers are explained. Installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of transformers are discussed in detail. The text presents correct safety procedures in compliance with the National Electrical Code and NFPA 70E.
The comprehensive CD-ROM included in the book features the following:
- Quick Quizzes that reinforce fundamental concepts with 10 questions for each chapter.
- An Illustrated Glossary that provides a helpful reference to terms commonly used in industry.
- Transformer Resources that provide access to a collection of key supplemental charts and tables.
- Media Clips that depict electrical and transformer principles in an organized list of video clips and animated graphics.
- Reference Material that provides access to Internet links to manufacturer, association, and American Tech resources.
