Maintaining appropriate power systems and equipment expertise is
necessary for a utility to support the reliability, availability,
and quality of service goals demanded by energy consumers now and
into the future. However, transformer talent is at a premium today,
and all aspects of the power industry are suffering a diminishing
of the supply of knowledgeable and experienced engineers.
Now in print for over 80 years since initial publication in 1925 by
Johnson & Phillips Ltd, the J & P Transformer Book
continues to withstand the test of time as a key body of reference
material for students, teachers, and all whose careers are involved
in the engineering processes associated with power delivery, and
particularly with transformer design, manufacture, testing,
procurement, application, operation, maintenance, condition
assessment and life extension.
Current experience and knowledge have been brought into this
thirteenth edition with discussions on moisture equilibrium in the
insulation system, vegetable based natural ester insulating fluids,
industry concerns with corrosive sulphur in oil, geomagnetic
induced current (GIC) impacts, transportation issues, new emphasis
on measurement of load related noise, and enhanced treatment of
dielectric testing (including Frequency Response Analysis),
Dissolved Gas analysis (DGA) techniques and tools, vacuum LTCs,
shunt and series reactors, and HVDC converter transformers. These
changes in the thirteenth edition together with updates of IEC
reference Standards documentation and inclusion for the first time
of IEEE reference Standards, provide recognition that the
transformer industry and market is truly global in scale.
-- From the foreword by Donald J. Fallon
Martin Heathcote is a consultant specializing in power
transformers, primarily working for utilities. In this context he
has established working relationships with transformer
manufacturers on several continents. His background with Ferranti
and the UK s Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) included
transformer design and the management and maintenance of
transformer-based systems.
* The definitive reference for all involved in designing,
installing, monitoring and maintaining high-voltage systems using
power transformers (electricity generation and distribution sector;
large-scale industrial applications)
* The classic reference work on power transformers and their
applications: first published in 1925, now brought fully up to date
in this thirteenth edition
* A truly practical engineering approach to design, monitoring and
maintenance of power transformers - in electricity generation,
substations, and industrial applications."
