The operation and performance characteristics of a furnace transformer connected to a large direct arc furnace formed the basis for realizing the rating of the transformer. The nonlinear mathematical model of the transformer is based on the core geometry available from manufacturer's published data. In order to verify the effectiveness of GA method, an example is considered. The results show the potential for implementation of GA as an efficient search technique for design optimization of transformers. A discussion on the variation of GA parameters while minimizing the single and multi-objective functions satisfying the performance constraints concludes the paper. © 2006 IEEE. date: 2006 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-46249093048&doi=10.1109%2fPECON.2006.346709&partnerID=40&md5=9a2e57e193e92c30c5ed0ccba409ef66 id_number: 10.1109/PECON.2006.346709 full_text_status: none publication: First International Power and Energy Conference, (PECon 2006) Proceedings place_of_pub: Putrajaya pagerange: 531-536 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1424402735; 9781424402731 citation: Rao, K.S.R. and Raju, M.R.
