K-Factor

These type QL transformers have passed the UL K-factor testing program. K-factor is a unit measuring a transformer’s ability to withstand the harmonics content of a system. GE offers K=4, K=13, K=20 and K=30 transformers.

Applications

  • K=4
    – Welders
    – Induction heating
    – HID lighting
    – Fluorescent lighting
  • K=13
    – Telecommunications equipment
    – Classroom facilities
    – Healthcare facilities
    – Production lines
    – SCR variable speed drives
  • K=20
    – Office buildings
    – Data processing equipment
    – Adjustable speed drives
    – Computer installations
    – Instrumentation
  • K=30
    – Computer installations
    – Office buildings
    – Data processing equipment
    – Adjustable speed drives
    – Instrumentation

To specify a stainless steel enclosure for an aluminum transformer, substitute an “S” in the fifth character in the GE catalog number. Example 9T14A1001G03 changes to 9T14S100G03. To specify a stainless steel enclosure for a copper transformer, substitute an “Z” in the fifth character in the GE catalog number. Example 9T14C1004G03 changes to 9T14Z1004G03.
