Drive Output Transformers
Drive Output Transformers are designed to handle non-linear, non-sinusoidal loads resulting from their use with a variety of power electronic applications such as diode or thyristor for inverter motor drive configurations from 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 pulse configurations.

Transformer Specifications
Special design considerations should be used to account for the additional harmonic heating, possible DC content, possible non-linear Volts per Hertz conditions and more severe axial forces, severe overloads and short circuit forces that can be seen as compared with a standard power transformer. Niagara Power Transformer’s superior engineering expertise paired with our unmatched years of manufacturing experience and high-grade materials allow us to provide the best in-class Drive Output Transformers.
