The distorted current waveform created by non-linear loads can cause many problems in an electrical distribution system. Eaton's Harmonic Mitigating “phase-shifting” Transformers are cost-effective, energy efficient, highly reliable passive devices that are always on the job, treating harmonics regardless of the level of load they are serving at a given point in time. They are designed to treat a wide variety of harmonics, including harmful triplen harmonic currents.
Includes transformers with DOE 2016 and NEMA TP-1 efficiency requirements, and transformers with other efficiency requirements
Harmonic mitigating (cancellation) transformers are a cost-effective means of treating harmful harmonics in electrical distribution systems
Third-party tested for harmonic performance and energy efficiency
Available in a variety of phase-shift configurations that allow flexibility to target specific families of harmonics
Harmonic treatment provided entirely by electromagnetic flux cancellation; no filters, capacitors, or other such devices are used, reducing parts and maintenance
Single electrostatic shield for attenuation of common mode and transverse mode noise
Transformers include a versatile bonding/grounding bar affixed to the bottom panel as standard, to provide compliance with NEC 450.10(A)

Discover the impact on inrush current for low-voltage dry-type transformers
This document reviews the features and benefits of harmonic mitigating transformers (HMT) with integral factory-installed transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) for power quality and electrical surge protection applications.
This design guide provides dimensions, layout examples, technical specifications and application information for low-voltage dry-type specialty transformers. The information in this document supersedes section 19 of the Consulting Application Guide (CAG).
This document explains how to select the right transformer for Level 2 EV charging applications. It covers voltage compatibility, safety requirements, and installation best practices to ensure optimal performance. Written by Eaton engineers Gerry Feldmeier and Mark Stephens, it supports planners and operators in adapting infrastructure to growing EV demand
