Overview

The Hammond Power SK3A1000KK4K is a 1000 kVA, three-phase, K-Factor 4 transformer engineered to handle non-linear loads with significant harmonic distortion. The transformer features copper windings for superior conductivity and durability, providing reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Designed for medium-voltage applications, the SK3A1000KK4K offers a primary voltage of 480V delta (PV) and a secondary voltage of 480Y/277V wye (SV), making it ideal for power distribution systems requiring stable voltage regulation. Its shielded design enhances protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring operational integrity in facilities with electronic loads such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), LED lighting, and switching power supplies. The K-Factor rating of 4 specifically addresses harmonic challenges by providing increased capacity to manage RMS current due to harmonic currents, preventing overheating and premature equipment failure. This proactive harmonic mitigation extends equipment lifespan and improves system stability. The transformer is convection air-cooled, constructed with three coils and a single 3-leg core, and designed in accordance with UL, CSA, and NEMA standards. It includes NEMA-standard taps on the primary side for flexibility in voltage adjustment.
