Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can this dry type transformer operate reliably with an IGBT medium voltage variable frequency c

Yes. The transformer is specifically designed for VFD and IGBT testing environments, with optimized impedance and reinforced insulation to handle harmonic-rich loads and fast switching characteristics.

Q2: How does harmonic distortion from the IGBT converter affect the transformer?

IGBT converters generate high-frequency harmonics that increase copper and core losses. A properly designed dry-type transformer compensates for these effects through enhanced cooling design and thermal margin.

Q3: What is the expected temperature rise under harmonic loading?

Under harmonic loads, temperature rise may increase by 5–15%. Therefore, thermal design margin is included to ensure safe operation under distorted waveforms.

Q4: Does the transformer require K-factor rating for this application?

For heavy harmonic environments, K-factor design or harmonic-resistant construction is recommended to reduce overheating risks.

Q5: Can this transformer handle frequent start-stop cycles?

Yes. The transformer is mechanically reinforced to withstand thermal cycling and electromagnetic forces caused by frequent energization and load variation.
