Electromagnetic Fields in Transformers: Theory and Computations

A transformer is a complex 3-D electromagnetic device. Although a static device and simple enough in principle, it is built from a complex assembly of several components such as the core, windings, insulation, tank, and several accessories. A three-phase transformer is a multiphase structure having materials with nonlinear characteristics and anisotropic properties. Superimposition of various physical fields (electromagnetic, thermal, structural, acoustic, fluid, etc.) poses a real challenge to its designer. Many times, there are conflicting design requirements for these different fields. Advanced field computations involving coupled analysis of the electromagnetic field and the ...
