Overview

The Hammond Power SH3U0500KB3K is a 500 kVA, three-phase, energy-efficient harmonic mitigating transformer engineered to address harmonic distortion in industrial power systems. Designed for compliance with DOE2016 and NRCan 2019 energy efficiency standards, this unit reduces energy consumption and operational costs while maintaining clean power output. The transformer features a primary winding rated at 480YD PV and a secondary winding at 208Y/120 SV, ensuring compatibility with common industrial and commercial voltage requirements. Utilizing zero sequence flux cancellation technology, the SH3U0500KB3K effectively mitigates harmonic distortion generated by non-linear loads such as variable frequency drives, UPS systems, and LED lighting. Its copper wound construction provides superior conductivity and thermal performance, enhancing reliability and longevity. The shielded design minimizes electrical noise and interference, protecting sensitive equipment. With a -30-degree phase shift capability, this transformer is ideal for applications requiring precise phase control and power quality optimization. Manufactured in the US, the SH3U0500KB3K is built for durability and performance in demanding industrial environments. Its UNSPSC code is 39121001. Suitable for applications in manufacturing, data centers, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings where power quality and energy efficiency are critical.
  • Typical applications of HPS harmonic mitigating transformers include data centers, internet-service providers, telecom sites, call centers, broadcast centers, etc.
  • Superior to K-rated and conventional transformers in reducing voltage distortion and power losses due to current harmonics created by single-phase, non-linear loads.
  • Combining zero sequence flux cancellation with phase shifting treats 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 17th and 19th, harmonics within its secondary windings.
  • Copper wound construction for superior conductivity and durability
  • Shielded design reduces electrical noise and interference
