Abstract

This paper is motivated by the need for improved methods of dealing with distribution transformer losses in cement manufacturing. Solutions are obtained by the variational method for several configurations commonly encountered in cement manufacturing. The computed values of distribution transformer losses were consistently within 27% of the observed figures. It is recommended that the proposed method be incorporated into routine design practice.
