This book aims to offer practical and efficient methodologies to identify the main power transformer leading design variables that guarantee meeting a set of required performance specifications. Target audience are senior electrical power engineering students as well as design office engineers working in power transformers manufacturing plants.

In particular, this book shows the following features:

• Bridging the gap between design theories and meeting design requirements
• Addressing manufacturers design constraints

• Linking design performance with material quality and characteristics
