Instrument Transformers


Book Description

"Instrument Transformers" serves as an indispensable guide for electrical engineers and professionals navigating the complexities of measuring high-voltage currents and potentials. In the realm of electrical engineering, direct measurement of voltages and currents in the "kilo" or "mega" range presents significant challenges, not only due to the sheer magnitude of these values but also because of the safety and accuracy concerns involved. Instrument transformers, including current transformers (CTs), potential transformers (PTs), and capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs), emerge as critical tools in mitigating these challenges, enabling precise and safe measurements by converting high values to more manageable levels. This book delves into the crucial aspects of instrument transformers, offering a comprehensive exploration of their design, operation, and application within electrical systems. By providing detailed technical data and insights, it aims to equip readers with the knowledge needed to effectively utilize these transformers in real-world settings. The focus extends beyond theoretical understanding, emphasizing practical solutions to the technical problems that electrical engineers frequently encounter in their fieldwork. Whether it's for performance evaluation, quality analysis, or the smooth and safe operation of electrical systems, "Instrument Transformers" stands as a vital resource. It promises not only to enlighten its readers on the fundamental principles and applications of instrument transformers but also to guide them through troubleshooting and problem-solving processes, ensuring efficiency and safety in electrical measurement and control operations.







Power and Distribution Transformers


Book Description

This book is based on the author's 50+ years experience in the power and distribution transformer industry. The first few chapters of the book provide a step-by-step procedures of transformer design. Engineers without prior knowledge or exposure to design can follow the procedures and calculation methods to acquire reasonable proficiency necessary to designing a transformer. Although the transformer is a mature product, engineers working in the industry need to understand its fundamentals oand design to enable them to offer products to meet the challenging demands of the power system and the customer. This book can function as a useful guide for practicing engineers to undertake new designs, cost optimization, design automation etc., without the need for external help or consultancy. The book extensively covers the design processes with necessary data and calculations from a wide variety of transformers, including dry-type cast resin transformers, amorphous core transformers, earthing transformers, rectifier transformers, auto transformers, transformers for explosive atmospheres, and solid-state transformers. The other subjects covered include, carbon footprint salculation of transformers, condition monitoring of transformers and design optimization techniques. In addition to being useful for the transformer industry, this book can serve as a reference for power utility engineers, consultants, research scholars, and teaching faculty at universities.

An Introduction to Electrical Machines and Transformers


Book Description

Electrical engineering students are traditionally given but brief exposure to the important topic of electrical machines and transformers. This text/reference comprises a thorough and accessible introduction to the subject and this Second Edition contains more material on small machinery and a new chapter on the ``energy conversion'' approach to calculation of magnetically developed forces. A circuit model is developed for each of the basic devices and the physical basis of each model is explained. Chapters are relatively independent of one another and follow the same general plan--coverage is broad and deep enough to permit flexibility in course design.
