K-Factor Transformers Your AC Transformers FAQ K-Factor Transformers are designed and engineered to handle non-linear loads found in equipment commonly used in today's business environments. This type of equipment includes computers, monitors, printers, variable speed drives, and copy/fax machines, where harmonic problems can be encountered. These harmonics generate additional, unwanted, heat and can cause problems not only the equipment but also with the power distribution system. Other issues created by harmonics include the following: Blown fuses or breakers, even at or below recommended current levels. High currents in the neutral wire of the transformer. Transformer overheating which could create fires. Lower, overall, transformer life span. K-Factor Transformers are specifically designed to efficiently handle these non-linear loads and their harmonics along with alleviating any subsequent problems they would have created. K-Factor Transformers are able to handle these loads because they are sized appropriately for the additional heat brought on by harmonics. They also meet the stringent requirements of UL 1561 standards for k-factor transformers. K-Factor Transformers are designed with many outstanding features which include the following most commonly found: Electrical noise minimization with double-grounded electrostatic shielding. Reduced saturation with low flux, density-wound, core. Elimination of overheating with oversized neutral conductors. Reduction of harmonics with use of specifically designed copper windings, which also increase efficiency. TEMCo carries a full line of K-Factor Transformers from the top manufacturers including Acme.
