Academic: bla bla bla,
By "mr303" (Lake Butler, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Transformer Design and Applications (Hardcover)
I bought this book hoping to get learn how to design a step up transformer ( a lower voltage to a higher one). The information in this book can be divided into two categories:1) things you already know 2) things that you are not interested in No attempt is made to present material in an intuitive format. Another weakness of the book is that several fromulas are presented with variables that are neither defined or explained. If you are interested in building you're own transformers don't waste your money on this book. The only value it has is as a reference for few formulas. There is little practical, useful information if you are looking to construct a specialty transformer for a design project.

Not practical - very disappointing,
This review is from: Handbook of Transformer Design and Applications (Hardcover)
I've read through this book and I can's say I'm any closer to understanding how to design a transformer than when I started. There are very view practical examples. The text is vague on nearly every subject it discusses. There is no discussion on how how to select a core size, or transformers for switching power supplies. There is a lot of discussion about things no-one cares about such as procurement practice, and quality assurance.

HDBK of Transformer Design,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Transformer Design and Applications (Hardcover)
The book seems somewhat out-dated and lacks a complete mathematical approach, however, is has been a very useful text as a companion to other texts that I have on this and related subjects. When I first perused the book I was dissapointed in the seemingly lack of mathematical analysis, but on closer examination and actual use of the book, I have found it to be quite useful and would recommend it to those who not particularly interested in a highly rigorous text.
