The third enlarged edition, with updated bibliography and improved graphics: an indispensable text for anyone dealing with power transformers
The volume, studied for specialists involved in designing, purchasing and using power transformers, deals with the subject of short-circuit and diagnosis of possible faults, making the most of the vast experience gained in the field by ABB, which can boast world leadership in these technologies.
The author, Giorgio Bertagnolli, has always dedicated himself to designing high-power transformers: manager of the "Short-circuit Strength" R&D project in ABB, he was Convenor of the IEC Working Groups which produced the 2000 and 2006 editions of IEC Standard 60076-5: Power Transformers - Part 5 - Ability to withstand short-circuit.
Compared with the previous 1996 and 1998 editions, the new one is considerably enlarged, particularly in Section 6, “Failure modes caused by short-circuit forces”, and has got a far better graphic quality thanks to the extensive use of colours on graphs and diagrams.
"The book is excellent" says Mr. Reinhart Baehr, former Chairman of Study Committee 12 of CIGRE’. "In my view is the very best compilation of all the knowledge about this short-circuit - congratulations.”
