Great Book, Buy it! 5 by .. Tim Daycounter ()
This is probably the best book on transformer design that I've found. It's geared towards the engineer who actually wants to design a real working transformer. The text is comprehensive, and the discussions are inteligent and easy to follow. There are tons of real word examples. As I was reading this book, there were many times when the lights went on in my head, and subjects that where previously a mystery, became crystal clear. There are so many poorly written books out there on this subject that it is a real pleasure to come across a book so well written.

Among the best foundational material for magnetics design. 5 by .. J. Holdahl (South Dakota)
Wether you are an engineer, technician, or just an interested layman, this book will take you from the grass roots understanding of basic magnetics all the way through to some fairly advanced topics. Among magnetics engineers, I have found it to be one of THE BEST for properly setting up foundational knowledge and theory. Too many engineers have weak or incomplete foundations and quickly hit a plateau where they can't go further until they go back and really understand the basics. If you buy one book, buy this one. The other two books I would recommend of this caliber are no longer in print.

Transformer and inductor Design Handbook 5 by .. Montresor Maria Teresa ()
This book supplies explanation clear and exhausting to many problems that every encounter day in the planning of transformers even if lacks many arguments that I'de like to me to deepen, but is a profit point of departure for me.


A very thorough analysis. 5 by .. Antony E. Brinlee (Plano, TX USA)
I would highly recommend the book. I was able to fairly quickly design a resonant inductor for a 500 watt ballast. The calculations agreed with the test test data very well.

A very well written book on transformers and inductors 4 by .. Leendert Dekker (Menlo Park, Gauteng South Africa)
This book is superbly written and covers every possible asset of transformer and inductor design (torroidal transformers included). I have used this book to design transformers for a company in South Africa with great success. Take note that this book is not written with the beginner in mind, so a good background of electromagnetism is required in order to understand some of the concepts.
