Losses and Derating

Losses and derating of branch equipment consists of  Losses,  Transformer Derating via ANSI/IEEE C57.110-1986,  K Factor, and  Conductor Derating. The results are displayed at the center of a branch item. The calculations for these figures of merit are:

The K-factor equation is a modified form of the equation based on UL 1561, and differs slightly from the IEEE 519 K-Factor which in turn is based off of ANSI C57.110. In the K-Factor equation above, the value IRating is the transformer name plate rating and Ih is the current magnitude for each harmonic.
