Improve Power Factor with Zero Cross Transformer Mode

Utilizing Phase Angle control has disadvantages - increased harmonics and decreased power factor. However, it is still the usual choice for system designers with isolation transformers in order to prevent transformer saturation. 

Control Concepts has recently introduced a new solution: Zero Cross Transformer (ZCT) Mode. Our goal was to develop a cost-effective way to eliminate harmonics/power factor issues without compromising performance, quality, or reliability. ZCT Mode is already in use on the field and has produced excellent results.

Are you a good candidates for ZCT Mode?

1. Do you want improved power factor?

2. Do you use transformer-coupled loads?

3. Do you have high thermal inertia OR require less stringent process control?
