Transformer K Factor Rating: Mitigating Transformer Heat Survival
K-factor transformers are used to supply power to loads that generate harmonics. Non-linear loads such as VSDS and inverters used in converting DC power to AC are increasingly common due to their ability to improve energy efficiency. However, the harmonics they produce create challenging operating conditions, such as heat generation, that standard transformers are not […]
Arc Flash Studies: Why and When Are They Necessary
What is an Arc Flash? An arc flash is a sudden and intense release of energy resulting from an unintended arc fault, which occurs when there is a short circuit between live electrical components or between a live part and the ground. This release generates extreme heat and light, causing a powerful explosion that can […]
