Overview

The Hammond Power SK3A0300KB4S is a 300 kVA, three-phase, aluminum-wound K-Factor 4 transformer engineered to mitigate harmonic distortion in non-linear electrical loads. Rated for 480D primary voltage and 208Y/120 secondary voltage, this transformer meets DOE2016 and NRCan 2019 energy efficiency standards, ensuring compliance with North American regulatory requirements. The K-Factor 4 rating optimizes performance in applications with high harmonic content, such as variable frequency drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other non-linear loads common in industrial and commercial environments. Designed with a Delta-Wye (Δ-Y) connection, the SK3A0300KB4S provides stable voltage regulation and reduces neutral current imbalances. The aluminum windings offer a lightweight yet durable construction, reducing installation complexity and maintenance costs compared to copper alternatives. The shielded design enhances electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), minimizing interference with sensitive electronic equipment. With a frequency rating of 60 Hz and a compact footprint, this transformer is ideal for space-constrained installations in industrial plants, data centers, hospitals, and commercial buildings. Key specifications include a 300 kVA capacity, three-phase configuration, and compliance with DOE2016 and NRCan 2019 efficiency standards. The transformer’s K-Factor 4 rating ensures reliable operation in environments with significant harmonic distortion, while the shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the SK3A0300KB4S delivers consistent power quality and energy efficiency in demanding electrical systems.
