While the design and manufacture of standard distribution transformers is straightforward and often perceived as a commodity in the marketplace, a totally different approach must be taken when specifying transformers for critical applications, particularly harmonic loads (power conversion, rectifier duty, excitation applications, etc.).
These demanding applications, often in safety-critical and harsh environments, require transformers that are carefully and competently engineered. The actual thermal overloads must be considered to allow for optimum performance when connected to loads that are subjected to harmonic distortion or with continuous and or temporary overloads.
Such applications require dry type multipulse transformers that are engineered, manufactured and tested by trusted partners with a high degree of competence and experience in this field.
