This comprehensive reference offers ready access to the most up-to-date information on all facets of electronic transformer design. Coverage includes full treatments of the principles of transformer operation and behavior, construction, cooling considerations, and overload protection. This edition is thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest information on new core and construction materials and gaseous insulants. Contains expanded coverage of size versus rating as affected by new cooling techniques, polyphase capacitor input filters material (including a discussion of semiconductor/rectifier technology) and saturating devices. New chapters cover inverter transformers, inverter circuits, high voltage applications, and the design of special transformers.

Despite the official blurb, this volume is NOT the latest and greatest on transformer design. It used to be, but the book hails from 1947, the second edition was in 1955, and the book is out of print and the copyright has expired. That said, it is still a classic that serious designers scrounge from the used market as a must-have item. The best contemporary replacement is probably Flanagan's Handbook of Transformer Design and Applications, which used Reuben Lee as a reference, among many other sources. Magnetics design has not changed so much that this book is at all obsolete. Magnetics being one area where the c.g.s. system still holds sway over m.k.s., most everything in it is still usable today. What is missing are contemporary areas such as the needs of solid state circuitry and the power conversion circuitry enabled by it, such as inverters and switching regulators. Nevertheless, the basic principles never go obsolete.
