Single phase and three phase transformers

AI Thread Summary
For understanding single-phase and three-phase transformers, concise resources are recommended, including Wikipedia and HyperPhysics for foundational concepts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of grasping magnetics before diving into transformer specifics. Seeking shortcuts often leads to more work, suggesting a thorough approach is preferable. Various online resources and forums are available for deeper insights, tailored to individual learning habits. Engaging with diverse materials can foster a better intuitive understanding of electrical concepts.

please suggest me simple and pecise notes or book for the above that can provide full concept in a very short span of time
perhaps this is not the homework.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
full concept in a very short span of time

From what starting point? Do you know magnetics yet ?

Looking for "The easy way" always results in way more work than doing it right the first time.

Good luck...
 
thanks, jim
 
search engine can be your friend. It tailors itself to you habits, knows how much time you spend at sites it suggested.

So search on keywords from transformer links. Soon it'll be delivering you content that is in line with your reading habits.

This fellow has very offbeat explanations of things electrical and his science is pretty good. http://amasci.com/ele-edu.html
You might find him interesting, but be warned he aims his writings toward hobbyists and amateur scientists not academia. Your professors may well scoff and it is with trepidation i mention him on PF.
He can however help one attain that intuitive "feel" for something that enables you to figure out the equations from basics rather than memorize them.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
