This book has survived 15 editions and a few reprints. At first it was a guide for manufacturing windings for electrical machines and transformers. Then the book was repeatedly expanded in the direction of increasing the volume of repairs, adding faults, testing, and monitoring. At the same time, the title of the book was changed, and its coverage naturally expanded. In the bibliography, we have combined all available publications under the popular short historical name The Catechism for anchor winding. Other books by the author are indicated in the bibliography for 1929, 1938 and 1948.

 

1921

Milan Vidmar, Die Transformatoren (The transformers), Springer, Berlin, Pages 702, 1921; Ed. 2.0, Pages 751,1925; Ed. 3.0, Birkhäuser, Basel, Pages 630, 1956

In this book, a famous engineer, scientist and chess player, Prof. Milan Widmar (1885–1962), outlines the basics of designing and constructing power transformers. The fundamental principles presented in it remain valid even today, despite the development of the theory, great progress in the properties of materials, technology, growth in ultimate power and voltage classes, and automation of the design process. The book has withstood many editions and has been translated into many languages. Other books by the author are indicated in the bibliography for 1927, 1928, 1935, 1940 and 1945.
