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).
