Abstract. The aim of the transformer design is to completely obtain the dimensions of all the parts of the transformer based on the given specification, using available materials economically in order to achieve lower cost, lower weight, reduced size and better operating performance. In this paper, a heuristic optimization method is proposed aiming at designing the transformer so as to meet the specification with the minimum manufacturing cost. Results from the application of the proposed methodology demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of this approach.

In the present paper, a Transformer Design Optimization (TDO) software package is developed providing a user-friendly transformer design and visualization environment. This software consists of a collection of design optimization, visualization and verification tools, able to provide transformer designers all the proper interactive capabilities required for the enhancement of the automated design process of a manufacturing industry.
