Recent catastrophic blackouts have exposed major vulnerabilities in
the existing generation, transmission, and distribution systems of
transformers widely used for energy transfer, measurement,
protection, and signal coupling. As a result, the reliability of
the entire power system is now uncertain, and many blame severe
underinvestment, aging technology, and a conservative approach to
innovation. Composed of contributions from noted industry experts
around the world, Transformers: Analysis, Design, and Measurement
offers invaluable information to help designers and users overcome
these and other challenges associated with the design,
construction, application, and analysis of transformers. This book
is divided into three sections to address contemporary economic,
design, diagnostic, and maintenance aspects associated with power,
instrument, and high-frequency transformers. Topics covered
include: Design considerations Capability to withstand short
circuits Insulation problems Stray losses, screening, and local
excessive heating hazard Shell type and superconducting
transformers Links between design and maintenance Component-related
diagnostics and reliability Economics of life-cycle cost, design
review, and risk-management methods Parameter measurement and
prediction This book is an essential tool for understanding and
implementing solutions that will ensure improvements in the
development, maintenance, and life-cycle management of optimized
transformers. This will lead to enhanced safety and reliability and
lower costs for the electrical supply. Illustrating the need for
close cooperation between users and manufacturers of transformers,
this book outlines ways to achieve man
