where:
h is the harmonic order
I
h
is the RMS current at h in per unit of total current
First, calculate the K factor of the load according to:
www.leonardo-energy.org
Copper Development Association
www.cda.org.uk
For this typical PC load, the K factor is 11.6
(For worked examples see LPQI AN 3.5.2 or IEE 1100 1992)

Next, a transformer with a higher K rating is
selected from the standard range:
4, 9, 13, 20, 30, 40, 50

e is ratio of eddy current loss (50 Hz) to resistive loss
n is the harmonic order
q is dependent on winding type & frequency, typically
