Harmonic Mitigating Transformers
Many of today’s electronic devices are non-linear loads
generating high levels of harmonic currents that are then
fed back onto your distribution system. This waveform
distortion results in overheating of motors and transformers,
increased neutral currents and malfunction/damage to
other equipment on the line.
Acme Electric introduces a line of harmonic mitigating
transformers that combine the technologies shown in our
non-linear load (K-Factor) transformers. Where conventional
K-Factor transformers “deal” with harmonics, containing them
within the transformer and preventing them from going
further upstream; harmonic mitigating transformers eliminate
harmonics by pitting them against themselves. This technol-
ogy not only results in “cleaner power” but also provides the
most energy efficient means to deal with harmonic prob-
lems.
Available in sizes ranging from 30 thru 225 kVA, with copper
windings and a variety of other design options and acces-
sories, Acme harmonic mitigating transformers offer you
reduced transformer heat, reduced voltage distortion due to
3rd order harmonics, higher efficiency.
