OERLIKON. 427 closed by a top and bottom yoke clamped tightly in thetwo halves of the cast-iron case. For three-phase trans-formers a vertical design is adopted, consisting of threecores joined at both ends by annular yokes. The surfaceof small and moderate-sized transformers is sufficient… … increase of size the surface augments only as the squareof the linear dimensions, whereas the bulk and powerwasted grow as the cube of the linear dimensions, a pointis finally reached where even the most efficient type oftransformer cannot be kept cool enough by air circula-tion, and it becomes…
