Transformers
that drive ‘Non Linear’ loads, i.e. loads
that draw currents that are not a pure sine wave but
include a substantial harmonic content, are subject
to additional self heating in comparison to a normal
linear load transformer of the same kVA rating. The
effect of this non linear load requires a larger transformer
to dissipate the additional heat.
The effects of harmonic current content within the
load can be defined mathematically by the ‘K-Factor’.
We can manufacture transformers designed to compensate
for the effects of your specific K-Factor.
A common example of a non linear load encountered today
is the DC power supply unit within a computer. Clearly
a large office complex with several hundred computers
would be subject to a large K-Factor
Features
