This model is designed to evaluate the economic viability of replacing or retrofilling a PCB transformer with numerous non-PCB transformer options. Replacement options include conventional, amorphous, amorphous-liquid filled, or amorphous-liquid filled-high performance transformers. The retrofill option is the process that removes and disposes the existing PCB dielectric and replaces this with non-PCB dielectric. Depending on the data available, the skills of the user, and the intent of the analysis, there are three model options available to the user. For practical purposes, Level I requires the least amount of input data from the user while Level III requires the greatest quantity of data. This manual is designed for people who have a minimum of experience with Lotus 123 and are familiar with electrical transformers. This manual covers system requirements, how to install the model on your system, how to get started, how to move around in the model, how to make changes in the model data, how to print information, how to save your work, and how to exit from the model.
