Hi,

K-factor is a weighting of the harmonic load currents according to their effects on transformer heating, as derived from ANSI/IEEE C57.110. A K-factor of 1.0 indicates a linear load (no harmonics). The higher the K-factor, the greater the harmonic heating effects

The K-Factor is used by transformer manufacturers and their customers to adjust the load rating as a function of the harmonic currents caused by the load(s).

Transformation ratio is the ratio of:

secondary voltage/primary voltage OR

secondary winding/primary winding OR

primary current/Secondary current

Thanks,
