Abstract
TRANSFORMERS are particularly suited for outside use in outside distribution of electricity, owing to the facility with which they can be installed and the saving effected, but if they are a nuisance to dwellers in their neighbourhood, something has to be done immediately to suppress their noise. Noise prevention is a matter for co-operative investigation, and this was the reason why the Electrical Research Association (E.R.A.) formed a committee in 1934, composed of gas, electric and water engineers, under the chairmanship of Prof. ?. ?. Kapp, to consider the best means of eliminating this trouble. Definite contributions have been made to our knowledge by this committee, and by papers and discussions on the subject contributed to the engineering societies. An interesting paper on the limitation of transformer noise was contributed to the Institution of Electrical Engineers on March 28, the authors being B. G. Churcher and A. J. King, of the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd.
