Ventilated Distribution Transformers
K-Factor Transformers
K-Factor transformers are designed to reduce the heating
effects of harmonic currents created by loads like those
shown in Chart A. The K-Factor rating is an index of the
transformer’s ability to withstand harmonic content while
operating within the temperature limits of its insulating system.
SolaHD K-Factor transformers have UL ratings of K-4, K-13,
and K-20.
The SolaHD K-Factor design is a specialized transformer that
offers these benefits:
• Conductors capable of carrying the harmonic currents
of non-linear loads without exceeding the temperature
rating of the insulation system.
• A transformer design that takes into account the
increase in naturally occurring “stray” losses caused
by non-linear loads. These losses cause standard
transformers to dramatically overheat and substantially
shorten design life.
• A core and coil design that manages the DC flux caused
by triplen harmonics. As these harmonics increase, they
cause additional current to circulate in the delta winding.
This produces a DC flux in the core which leads to core
saturation, voltage instability and overheating.
Features
• Conductors to carry harmonics of a K-rated load
without exceeding insulation temperature ratings
• UL 1561 Listed up to K-20 rated protection
• Rated temperature rise of 150°C, 220°C insulation
• Shielded for quality power
• Basic design takes “stray losses” into account and
functions within safe operating temperatures
• Core and coil design engineered to manage the zero
sequence flux caused by triplen harmonics
• Provides 100% rated current without overheating the
windings or saturating the core
Accessories and Optional Design Styles
• Wall mounting brackets (500 lbs maximum) (Item WB1C)
• Weather Shields (UL Listed/NEMA Type 3R)
• Totally enclosed non-ventilated designs (TENV) (Non UL) *
• Low temperature rise units available
• Open core and coil designs (UL Recognized)
• Copper Wound designs
• Alternate voltages
• Compliant to NEMA TP-1 Standards
* Not all optional designs are UL Listed. Contact Technical Services.
