Importance of Transformer Efficiency – Effect of Loading

Distribution transformer is a part of every electrical power network at user end. If a facility is being supplied on HT from the utility, transformer and its losses comes under…


K-Factor for Transformer

K-factor for an electrical network primarily relates to non-linear loads and is defined as a number representing the effect of harmonics on the heating of transformer. For…


Current and Voltage Unbalance- causes and counter measures

Any deviation in voltage and current waveform from perfect sinusoidal, in terms of magnitude or phase shift is termed as unbalance. In ideal conditions i.e. with only linear loads…


Demystifying Power Factor Compensation

Power Factor (P.F.) can be viewed as the percentage of total apparent power that is converted into real or useful power.
