What is a K1 rating on a dry type Transformer?
Issue:
K rated Transformers
Product Line:
LV Transformers
Environment:
Applies to Low Voltage Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric
Cause:
Non Linear loads
Resolution:
The Transformer industry does not typically use a `K1` rating. Rather it is a non-recognized term that some consultants, OEMs and contractors use to denote a Transformer that will only be feeding Linear loads such as motors, compressors, solenoids, heaters, etc. In other words, K1 refers to a Transformer that does not have a `K` rating such as K4, K9, K13, K20.
