Improvements in transformer-loss compensators

TRANSFORMER-LOSS COMPENSATORS serve for the measurement of energy and demand as of the high-voltage side of power transformer banks with metering equipment located entirely on the low-voltage side. Advantages of their use are: generally lower costs;¹ savings in space; less exposure to lightning and other disturbances; and the conservation of critical materials. The basic compensator² comprises copper-loss and iron-loss elements that cause the meter to include these losses in its registration.
