Single Phase Isolation (Double-Wound) Transformers

Applications
Isolation transformers should be used on all systems
which require grounding of the load. Pioneer Electric
single phase distribution transformers are ideal for
supplying auxiliary lighting circuits from 600V and lower
supplies as well as electric heating equipment.

Features
• General purpose ventilated steel enclosure suitable
for indoor, dry locations. After fabrication, all metal
is finished in ASA 61 gray powder coating suitable
for most industrial and commercial installations.
• Transformers rated up to 75 KVA may be readily
hung on H-columns, walls, shelves, or floor mounted
to suit each installation. Most units have lifting
lugs, conduit KOs, and a removable front cover for
convenient access to terminals. Typical Electrical and Tap Configurations:

Electral Noise
Electrostatically (faraday) shielded transformers are
designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment and
electronic devices and systems from high frequency
voltages (electrical noise) or transients that occur due to
switching and loading on distribution lines.
Electrical noise and transients are classified in two ways:
Normal mode: Noise which appears between the hot and
neutral current carrying conductors.
Common mode: Noise which appears between the
ground wire, hot, and neutral current carrying conductors.
Common mode noise is more prevalent and should be the
key criterion for any noise suppression device.

 DRY TYPE TRANSFORMERS
Non-Linear Load Transformers (K-Factor Rated)
Applications
Today`s modern electronic, electrical components, and
circuitry such as computers, copiers, printers, fax machines
and display terminals utilize switching mode power supplies
for their operation. These switching mode power supplies
are non-linear in nature and cause significant power system
problems:
• Circuit breakers and fuses blowing far below their cur-
rent ratings.
• Neutrals in transformers and panelboards are much
hotter than their ratings.
• Distribution transformers are overheating even when
operating well within their specified nameplate ratings.
These problems are the result of harmonics. Solid state
switching elements such as SCR`s, transistors, and
capacitors which are found in computers, fax machines,
energy efficient ballasts, etc. continuously switch on and off
producing non-linear or non-sinusoidal wave shapes in the
current supplied from the power source.
A linear load uses current from the power source
continuously over the sinusoidal cycle. A non-linear load
uses current in large pulses from the power source which
creates harmonic distortion.
Harmonic components are represented by periodic waves
that have a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental
frequency. Harmonic frequencies superimpose themselves
upon the fundamental waveform distorting it and changing
the magnitude.
Effects of Harmonic Components on the
Sinusoidal Cycle
Distorted Non-Linear Wave = Fundamental + 3rd Harmonic + 5th Harmonic
A7
Effects on Transformers
The major components in the harmonic currents of switching
mode power supplies are the third and fifth harmonics.
Harmonics which are multiples of 3 such as the 3rd, 6th, 9th,
etc. are called triplen harmonics. When triplen harmonics
are present in a three phase system they add together in the
neutral conductor. Third harmonics result in a high 180Hz
current flowing through the transformer neutral terminal.
The core steel of the transformer has stray losses which will
increase dramatically with harmonic distortion. These effects
cause the transformers to operate at significantly higher
temperatures.
K - Ratings
A K-factor rating applied to a transformer is an index of the
transformers ability to supply harmonic content in its load
current while operating within its temperature limits.
For dry-type transformers a K-factor calculation is made
to determine the amount of harmonic content present in
a power system. K-rated transformers are sized to handle
100% of the fundamental 60Hz load plus the non-linear load
specified. The neutral of the transformer is sized at 200% of
the current rating of the phase connections.
Selecting Transformer K-Rating Based on Load Type:
K-factor 1: Motors
Incandescent Lighting
Resistance Heating
Motor Generators (without solid state drives)
K-factor 4: HID Lighting

 DRY TYPE TRANSFORMERS

Drive Isolation Transformers (DIT)

Applications
Pioneer Electric drive isolation transformers are specifically
designed to meet the requirements of AC and DC variable
speed drives or rectifier outputs. Pioneer Electric DIT type
transformers are manufactured and rated to match stan-
dard motor horsepower and voltage ratings.
Features
• Anticipating that harmonics generated by the
rectifiers will be present, the steel core is increased
to operate the transformer at a lower flux density to
prevent saturation.
• Standard K-factor 4 rating. All K-factor ratings are
available.
• Available in either high quality copper or aluminum
windings.
• Braced to withstand the mechanical stresses of the
current reversals and short circuits associated with
SCR drives.
• Isolates the power source from the low frequency
noise generated by SCR voltage spikes and transient
feedback.
• Reduces short circuit currents.
• Lower than normal losses and temperature rise for
greater life expectancy and overload capability.
• Full current neutral.
• Standard taps supplied, ± 5% FCAN and FCBN or
±2 x 2-1/2% FCAN and FCBN
• Thermal protectors (thermostats) for over temperature
tripping are supplied standard.
• Class 220 insulation used throughout.
• CSA certified and UL listed.
