Computers Change Transformer Design Philosophy

1. The development of a new philosophy of transformer design is a logical extension of the use of computers to determine optimum designs. The data obtained from studies made with the computer can be used as a basis to modify or refine presently accepted design formulas or concepts, or to establish new approaches to the designer´s problems. 2. The program provides the optimum design. 3. The design engineer is supplied quickly with the best possible design on which to base the final design. 4. The program can and will be extended to compute final designs ready for production. 5. The computer can insure a mathematically perfect and consistent line of standard transformers. 6. Through computer use, sales engineers can be quickly supplied with quotation information. 7. With the computer, theoretical studies can be made concerning the influence on design and cost varying losses, impedances audio noise levels, materials, and prices.
