The book will be particularly useful to: 1. Transformer designers and researchers engaged in optimization and qualityenhancement activities in today’s competitive environment. 2. Utility engineers who would like to learn more about the system interaction aspects of transformers in an interconnected power system to improve on specifications and employ diagnostic tools for condition monitoring. 3. Undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to integrate traditional transformer theory with modern computing practices
[...]... directly affects the rating and size of the transformer Presently, there are two types of design: single-core and two-core design Single-core design is used for small phase shifts and lower MVA/voltage ratings Two-core design is normally used for bulk power transfer with large ratings of phase shifting transformers It consists of two transformers, one associated with the line terminals and other with the tap...
