Configurable Options in our Rectifier Transformers

Electrical

Power Rating

Specify the required power by calculating secondary voltage multiplied by current. ex. 10 kVA. QT&E supports power ranges from:

1 VA - 1 kVA
1 kVA - 100 kVA
100 kVA - 1.5 MVA

Frequency

Define the operating frequency of your system (e.g., 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or custom). ex. 60 Hz. QT&E supports frequencies from:

50 Hz or 60 Hz
400 Hz up to 20 kHz

Phases

Choose between single-phase or three-phase configurations to match your application requirements; QT&E designs for both types. ex. 3PH.

Single-phase
Three-phase

Inputs & Outputs

Indicate the number, voltage, and current ratings for primary and secondary windings; QT&E accommodates a wide range of configurations and load profiles. ex. Input: 480V, Output: 120/240V split-phase.

1 V up to 600 V (up to 1.5 MVA)

Pulse

Specify the required pulse configuration for your application, determined by the desired level of harmonic reduction and power conversion efficiency. ex. 12-pulse. QT&E supports:

6
12
24

Impedance

State the desired impedance to control voltage regulation and fault currents; QT&E provides custom designs to meet specific impedance values. ex. 4% (typical range: 2% to 8%)

K-rating

Specify a K-factor to handle harmonic loads. ex. K-13 (designed for harmonic loads in data centers). QT&E supports:

K-1 (standard)
K-4, K-13, K-20 for data centers and other sensitive applications

Voltage Regulation

Indicate tolerance for voltage fluctuations; QT&E ensures precise regulation through advanced winding and core designs. ex. ±1% under varying loads

DC Ripple Management

Define your tolerance for DC ripple in rectified outputs; QT&E designs for low ripple with advanced filtering. ex. Ripple voltage <1% of DC output

Mechanical

Temperature Rise

Specify the allowable temperature rise above ambient for your application (measured in °C), typically based on insulation class or operational needs. ex. 80°C (standard for Class B).

Dimensions

Define the physical size constraints (height, width, depth) to fit your installation space. ex. H: 24 in, W: 18 in, D: 12 in

Enclosure

Indicate the required enclosure type based on environmental conditions, such as indoor, outdoor, or hazardous locations. ex. NEMA 1 (indoor use). Options include:

NEMA 1: Standard
NEMA 2
NEMA 3 + 3R: Protection from falling water.
NEMA 4 + 4X:
Water proof, fully enclosed.
NEMA 6

Circuit Protection

Specify integrated circuit protection needs, such as fuses or breakers, for overload and fault conditions. ex. Primary & Secondary circuit breakers. Options include:

Circuit breakers
Fuses

Seismic Kits

Indicate if seismic bracing is needed to meet building codes in earthquake-prone areas. ex. Designed for Zone 4 seismic compliance

Cooling Method

Specify the cooling method required, such as natural convection, forced air, or liquid cooling, based on operating environment and power density. ex. Forced air cooling with fans or Liquid-cooled system
