Unlocking Transformer Reliability: The Role of K Factor in Harmonic Analysis

This white paper explores the calculation and application of K Factor, a key metric for assessing current harmonic distortion and its impact on transformer heating. It details how K Factor is derived, its significance in transformer de-rating, and demonstrates how PMI’s ProVision software and harmonics-enabled recorders facilitate accurate K Factor measurement and analysis.

Key topics include:

- Introduction to K Factor
- How K Factor is Calculated
- Impact of Harmonics on Transformer Heating
- Using K Factor for Transformer De-Rating
- Analyzing K Factor with ProVision
- Best Practices for Accurate Measurement

Why utilities should care:
Understanding and monitoring K Factor enables more accurate transformer sizing, reduces risk of overheating and premature failure, and helps optimize asset longevity and reliability in environments with significant harmonic distortion.
