Specifying dry-type distribution transformers for solid state applications

The authors elaborate on existing theories, specifications and standards relating to the application of dry-type distribution transformers for solid-state applications. The criteria for selecting the proper transformer for several types of solid-state loads, i.e.: uninterruptible power supplies, rectifiers, variable speed drive systems, etc. are discussed. Calculated and experimental results are presented.<<ETX>>
