This review is from: J & P Transformer Book, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
I have searched for quite some time for a good thourough text on transformers that would take me past the 2 chapter simplified presentation in most machines textbooks. This book covers all aspects of transformer design (with lots of great photos) and operation in detail. ;--)
