Abstract :
Harmonic heating effects on transformers are discussed. A metering technique specifically designed for these necessary measurements that uses a portable harmonics meter controlled by a notebook or laptop personal computer (PC) is presented. No-load and load transformer losses are discussed. A description of the K-FACTOR method is given.<>
