ReliaGear XFMR K-Factor

ABB Transformers - Low Voltage Dry Type

ABB’s type QL K-Factor transformers are designed to withstand the additional heating that accompanies the presence of harmonics in electrical systems. K-Factor transformers are designed not to eliminate harmonics, but to withstand their negative effects. They are available with aluminum or copper windings and in all three temperature rise ratings. Type QL transformers meet DOE 2016 efficiency standards.
