| Excellence in Value and Quality |

"Excellence is rarely found, and more rarely valued" -- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
At Synergy Energy Inc. the emphasis is placed on high efficiency and
harmonic mitigating criteria and as a result, Synergy Energy is now a
premier designer and manufacturer of dry-type, copper wound Transformers for the 21st Century.
As Aristotle says, "pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work" and indeed Synergy Energy's dedicated professionals take great pleasure and pride in their work and products.
Within the past newsletters we have discussed the
various harmonics, their
sources, and effects. However, since harmonics create problems on a
continuous basis in the power quality industry, they always reside
in the front-row of 'issues to solve'.
The
Electrical Business magazine mentions that, "harmonics have no useful
purpose, yet contribute to losses and lower system efficiency...and are dissipated as heat in cables
and load devices".
One of the problems harmonics cause are overheating of the transformer
which can drastically shorten the life of the transformer and or even
cause total failure of the unit. The Electrical Business magazine also
alluded to other warning signs of harmonics "such as overheated neutral
conductors and panels, unexplained tripping of circuit breakers, line
voltage distortion, equipment failure, electrical fires, control
equipment mis-operation, and interference on communication lines".
In this issue, we will discuss Synergy Energy's very unique high efficiency transformer, the HET.K (K rated) unit that
brings great relief to such cost and headache inducing problems.
Synergy Energy's HET.K unit(s), is a three phase high efficiency isolation transformer. Typical installation
of the HET.K would be where non-linear loads are present. The required
K-rating increases with higher levels of Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) in the electrical system.
Our HET.K product(s) offer higher than what is required by NEMA TP-1 and CSA
802.2-06 standards and exceed US DOE CSL-3 efficiency levels.
The HET.K units offered by Synergy Energy Inc. allow front access to all their connection points (primary, secondary,
voltage taps, ground lugs and also the electrostatic shield and thermal
sensor terminations if the option(s) is chosen).
Synergy Energy Inc. offers a wide variety of options.
The
standard version of the HET.K unit has a maximum temperature rise of 150
degrees Celsius and is supplied with four primary voltage taps.

FACT:
Operating a transformer at simply 10 degrees Celsius above its
insulation rated class can cause approximately a 50% reduction in the
life of the transformer.
FACT: "If the harmonic current components are known, the K-factor can be
calculated and compared to the transformer's nameplate K-factor. As
long as the load K-factor is equal to or less than the transformer's
rated K-factor, the transformer does not need to be derated" -- EB
magazine
FACT: "The higher the K-factor, the more non-linear loads the transformer
can handle" -- EB
magazine
FACT: "K-factor rated transformers are preferred to oversized (derated)
conventional transformers, because they are designed to supply
non-linear loads, are equipped with 200% rated neutral bus, and are
likely to be smaller and less expensive. Disadvantages of an oversized (standard) transformer may include the
requirement for a higher short-circuit rating on circuit breaker and
the drawing of a higher inrush current. Derating a standard transformer
is only a temporary fix that often translates into lower efficiency
operations" -- EB magazine

As
you know, a transformer is the most important infrastructure of any
electrical system; therefore, it requires to be sized and applied with full attention to harmonic
creating loads.
Synergy Energy Inc. provides 50 years* (pro-rated) warranty on the unit(s)*.
K factors offered for this unit are K4, K9, K13, K20, K30, and K40.
These units are available from 9 kVA to 5000 kVA.
For more information on the options offered, please feel free to view our product catalogues provided.

Efficiency Levels |
|
|
|
|
|
Transformers
designed and manufactured by Synergy Energy Inc. meet and exceed the
required efficiency levels of NEMA TP-1, CSA 802.2, and US Department
of Energy (DOE) CSL-3 standards. Furthermore, the efficiency compliance
with NEMA and CSA standards of the transformers are verified by the
third party verification body, Intertek, which is one of the most
trusted test organizations in the world.
Verified products carry the
Intertek Efficiency Verification logo together with the related
verification number. |
