Current through Register Vol. 50, page 114, March 25, 2024
The K factor is a calculated ratio of cow contact voltage/secondary neutral to reference voltage. The K factor should be less than one because cow contact voltage should be less than secondary neutral to reference voltage. If the K factor is greater than one, then there is contribution to cow contact voltage from sources other than secondary neutral to reference voltage.
