Because schools and universities remain lightly occupied for extended periods of time, ultra-efficient transformers with low core losses provide a unique opportunity for significant energy savings. For this reason, ASHRAE has recommended ultra-efficient transformers that meet DOE CSL 3 efficiency requirements. PQI’s e-Rated® transformers exceed ASHRAE requirements and offer the most energy savings with the lowest cost.

In addition to our e-Rated® transformers, PQI’s harmonic mitigating Distribution TransFilters™ are essential for subsystems with high concentrations of nonlinear loads, such as computers, lab equipment, or electronic lighting ballasts.
