Description
The author provides a practical source of guidance on the installation, operation and maintenance of power transformers. This book will be of particular use to project engineers, architects and operations and maintenance engineers in electrical utilities and industrial organisations having occasional involvement with transformers. In the modern organisation, such individuals need a high degree of self-reliance in their dealing with a wide range of equipment. Treating the subject of power transformers in an essentially practical manner, this book should find a place on the shelves of all modern multidiscipline engineers.
This book is aimed primarily at the user of transformers but it would also be expected that students at colleges aiming to obtain a basic knowledge of power engineering will see the book as a source of practical instruction in one aspect of their subject.

Reviews / Votes
Reviews of the proposal:"I particularly like the explanation of the IEC standards. This is important...
It is important to communicate to the right people that the book exists. It could be marketed at relevant seminars around the UK as well as your usual marketing channels."
George McDowell, ERA Technology Ltd
"The proposed coverage is good...". He recommended publication and thought that the book would significantly add to the existing literature already available on the subject.
Stephen Dallas, Seeboard plc
"... accept that educational institutions would use it as reference manual for students doing say, a project in some specific aspect. It may be, of course, that once in a while, specialists courses may be run as summer schools or before conferences, etc, whereupon such a text would be extremely useful."
