Book Description

075063992X 978-0750639927 October 5, 1998 1
This book shows how a transformer can be put to use, common problems which a user will face, and which is the most appropriate in a particular situation. Anyone working with transformers will find this a valuable user guide. Theory and mathematics are kept to a minimum, and instead the everyday working of these devices is described. Practical Transformer Handbook covers transformers in electronic technology, control techniques, instrumentation, and other more unusual applications.

In this practical book a wide range of devices, uses and problems are explored, from parametric transformers, transmission line RF transformers and Tesla coils to the effect of geomagnetic storms on power transformers and dealing with the ever-present third harmonic in iron core transformers.

Irving Gottlieb is a leading author of many books for practising engineers, technicians and students of electronic and electrical engineering.


Practical, concise and wide-ranging coverage
Maths and theory kept to a minimum
Written for a wide professional market

Review


"....extremely big in useful information without being dry or over abbreviated. The use of simple English is most refreshing. It is easy to read and understand....light-hearted but seriously useful. Highly recommended."
THE INSTITUTE OF PATENTEES AND INVENTORS

From the Publisher

In this practical book a wide range of devices, uses and problems are explored, from parametric transformers, transmission line RF transformers, and Tesla coils. Also covered is the effect of geomagnetic storms on power transformers and dealing with the ever-present third harmonic in iron core transformers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very small book, April 8, 2002
By 
B. E Patterson (The wonderful state of New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Practical Transformer Handbook: for Electronics, Radio and Communications Engineers (Paperback)
This book is less than 1/2" thick. I gave it a low rating because of the cost. ...The information is very basic and the equations simple.
