Abstract
This chapter deals with conventional design of wound core type transformers. It formulates the transformer design optimization (TDO) problem and solves it using a multiple design method that is commonly referred to as the conventional TDO method. A design example of an actual commercial transformer is worked out throughout this chapter showing all the calculations that are needed to design a transformer. The example-driven presentation of the conventional TDO method makes this chapter unique in transformer design texts.
