Flanagan W.H. Handbook of Transformer Design and Applications

2nd edition. — McGraw-Hill Professional, 1993. — 496 p. — ISBN: 0070212910.This second edition updates what has become a standard reference on the subject, and now includes a selection of highly useful computer solutions to many transformer circuit problems. Every chapter reflects the latest technology advances-and the section on inverter transformers is expanded to better address the increasingly important subject of power supplies.Preface to Second Edition.
