Transistorized Induction Heating Power Supply

The Statipower SP12 transistorized induction heating power supply is designed to match multi-turn coils (400 to 2,000 V) that are used for hardening, tempering, tube heating, crystal growing, brazing, wire and strip heating, and other induction heating applications. A variety of heating coils can be properly matched with built-in load tuning capacitors and multi-tap output isolation transformers.

The device features a unitized design for stand-alone operation. Users connect three-phase 460 V input power, cooling water, and heating coil until ready to begin heating. The cabinets are designed to accommodate a variety of fixtures, conveyors, and part handling machines. Complete stand-alone control and monitoring include manual start/stop push buttons, heat level control with a 10-turn lockable dial, four meters, and annunciator lights.

The device is available in 3, 10, and 30 kHz models available from 25 kW to 1,200 kW output. Specifications include:

• Input power factor: 0.95 under all operating conditions
  
• Output regulation: Voltage, power or current
• Energy conversion efficiency: 85% minimum
• Output regulation accuracy: ±1% of regulated power with ±10% line variance
• Water requirements: 95° (35°C) max

In addition, users can control the device via remote or computer control, and an optional RS-232 interface is available computer monitoring, data logging, and control.
