Application Capability of K Factor Rated Transformer
K factor of transformer is its ability to serve the nonlinear loads without temperature rise, Higher the K-factor greater the capacity to withstand harmonic heating effects.

In Practice there wiill always difference in phase displacement between primary and secondary currents, Allowed limits are defined in IEC 61869-2.
Power Quality Standard help us define acceptable limits for which Equipments must be designed to work and beyond which mitigation must be implemented.
Non Linear Loads are every where, which distorts the waveform, Hence analysis and Mitigation of Waveform Distortation / Harmonics is need of the day.
For Electrical Network with non linear loads, Voltage Distortion limits are defined in IEEE 519. To ensure Quality Power Supply to Assets, Mitigate !!
For Electrical Network with non linear loads, Current Distortion limits are defined in IEEE 519. To ensure Quality Power Supply to Assets, Mitigate !!
Non Linear Loads are every where, which distorts the waveform. Analysis Power Factor (PF), Total PF, True PF, Displacement PF is essential.
