[time-nuts] Transformer design.

[J. Forster]

If anybody is really interested in transformer design, they should look at
the classics, like:

Fitzgerald & Kingsley
or
"Magnetic Circuits and Transformers" by MIT Staff

They go through magnetic design, from soup to nuts.

Also, the MIT Rad Lab Books "Components" volume.

The units for design have changed in the last 50 years or so, BTW.

For RF and ferrites, there are applcation notes from several makers, like
Fair-Rite, that walk you through designs.

While it's a big, complex field, you rarely have to hone a design to a
razor's edge. Close enough very often works fine.

Best,
