 Authoritative work on inductor design. January 15, 1998

This book enables the inductor engineer to confidently design an inductor with little effort. It is an authoritative piece, including examples of any imaginable configuration for inductor design. A resource every electrical engineer should have.

I first ran across this book at my campus library (I mean the originally published 1946 copy). Fell in love with it. This is the only resource I could find that dealt with a specific type of coil I sometimes use. Just about every piece of published literature that deals with inductance calculations cites this text.
I read some of the other reviews on the book and found that some of them were complaining about having to use look-up tables and how the coil configurations were strange. First, this book addresses numerous configurations, many of which ARE quite common. Second, this book is meant to provide the user with very accurate approximation techniques and simple formulas for calculating self- and mutual inductance. It is not meant to provide analytical solutions for inductance. It provides methods that are definitely better than trying to use Neumann's integral, which usually involve elliptic integrals and power series (which may not even converge). My opinion is that if you need to use it that often, just code up the formulas and tables in MatLab or some other programming language.
One last point, if you work with spiral disc coils (sometimes called pancake coils) buy this book. Huge time saver and accurate. I ran calculations on an inductor and came within 1.5% of the inductance value I measured using a precision LCR meter (which isn't bad considering that it was a handmade coil whose dimensions I had to approximate from hand measurements).
A classic on this subject April 6, 2007

This book, virtually unavailable for many years and now reprinted, contains the most complete collection of classical methods and analytical formulas for the calculation of self and mutual inductances for many geometries.
The approach is analytical rather than numerical and it reflects the date of first publication of the book (1946). Unfortunately factors comparing on several formulas are given in form of tables rather that in explicit way (e.g. series expansion) so it's rather tricky to program them on a spreadsheet.
Steve Moshier has programmed formulas for the most common geometries on a DOS calculator that I've found very useful. ([...])

Self & Mutual Inductance June 14, 2008

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A comprehensive compendium of methods of calculating self & mutual inductance of a wide range of loop configurations. Though the original book was written in the 1940s and gave methods suitable for calculations using tables and slide rules, the fundamental equations from which the tables are derived are also given. This allows the reader to produce algorithms for computer programs and spreadsheets as used in the modern era. All in all an extremely useful text for practitioners in this field.
useful book May 17, 2010

My husband ordered this book for his work. He says it has been very useful. It contains formulas that are hard to find in other books. It is easy to follow and the writer is specific.
