Focus:
An alternative transformer winding design procedure to that given in the references is
presented here that is somewhat simpler and more like procedures typically found in
textbook literature. In many cases this procedure should result in a sufficiently
optimized design. It is iterative, minimizes eddy-current effects, and provides turns
limits from static conditions. The rationale is to achieve a desired winding resistance Rw
by using the eddy-current Dowell plots in reverse. Unlike more comprehensive procedures,
no distinction is made between strands in turns bundles and windings without bundled
strands. The total number of strands, whether bundled or not, is calculated from Dowell
plot variables, wire size, and layers without regard to bundling or its effects on eddy-
current behavior.
