SolaHD K-Factor Ventilated Transformers

SolaHD K-Factor Ventilated Transformers are specifically designed to supply nonlinear electronic loads that generate harmonic currents. Unlike standard dry-type transformers, K-Factor transformers are engineered to withstand the additional heating effects caused by harmonics while maintaining reliable operation and long service life.

Available in standard K-4, K-13 and K-20 ratings, these three-phase transformers are commonly used with variable frequency drives (VFDs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), telecommunications equipment, PLCs, data centers, healthcare facilities and other installations where harmonic-producing loads are present.

Standard models are available from 15 kVA through 500 kVA, depending on the selected K-factor rating, with primary voltage taps, electrostatic shielding and multiple voltage configurations to meet a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications.

Wallco Inc. is a Factory Authorized SolaHD Distributor providing expert assistance selecting the proper K-factor rating, voltage configuration and transformer size for your application.

What is a K-Factor transformer?

A K-Factor transformer is specifically designed to withstand the additional heating effects created by harmonic currents generated by nonlinear electrical loads.

What is the difference between K-4, K-13 and K-20?

The K-factor rating indicates the transformer's ability to handle harmonic currents. Higher K-factor ratings are intended for applications with greater harmonic content.

Are these transformers used with variable frequency drives?

Yes. K-Factor transformers are commonly used with variable frequency drives, UPS systems and other nonlinear electronic loads that generate harmonic currents.
