Overview

This practical text describes the causes of poor efficiency in transformers - both load losses and non-load losses. It covers traditional ways of improving efficiency such as using larger conductors, as well as the implementation of technologies such as amorphous steel and cryogenics. It encourages the evaluation of the cost effectiveness of purchasing efficient transformers, and enables the evaluation and improvement of transformers in electric power systems.
