Systematic analysis of induction coil failures. Pt 1: Introduction

Induction coil failure is a very complex subject because typically there is no single factor responsible for the failure but rather a combination of interrelated factors. At minimum, a coil failure analyst must have knowledge of electromagnetics, metallurgy, materials science, mechanics, heat transfer, and chemistry.
