Re: Efficiency of Sola Constant Voltage Transformer?

Yes,
saturated core transformers BUZZ and get hot, even under no load. They
are not nice things to have around.

Note 1 KVA is not necesserily = 1 kW. At no load a good deal of that
is reactive power but still enough true power to get the core hot.


Are you sure it is harmonics that are triggering your UPS?
