Selection method of quenching transformer capacity of induction heating furnace

Selection method of quenching transformer capacity of induction heating furnace

The capacity of the quenching transformer of the induction heating furnace is generally 3-5 times the power of the intermediate frequency power supply. In production, the load duration of quenched transformers is different. For example, the capacity of a transformer with a low load duration can be selected to be smaller. For example, if a gear is heated for 5 seconds, while cooling and loading and unloading workpieces are 10 seconds, the load duration is 5/(5+10)=5/15=0.33; when scanning and quenching a long shaft, the heating time is 300s, and the delay cooling and loading and unloading time is 40s, so the load duration rate is 300/(300 + 40) = 0.88o At this time, the capacity of the quenching transformer should be selected larger.
