People joke a bout flux capacitors and back to the future... electrical fans inside!

this is the biggest power supply i have ever worked on.

rated output is 1,000,000 W @ 25Khz

yes this is a igbt driven 1 mega watt AC power inverter...

to give you all an idea i have a 800 amp service at my shop and i can only safely push this to 40 percent rated output. its fed via 3 4ott locomotive cables per pole!


also included is a pic of Siemens class C triode tube rated for 400khz @ 80kw max out put.

holy crap

the more dangerous of the two is actually the oscillator. which idles around 6kw, the transformer backing the plate is monstrous 480 3 phace delta stepping up to 20,000v operation to the rectifiers weighs about 2.5 tons

What is something like that used for?

 

[char]

something of that size and power output would be used to anneal large plate, or induction heat treating massive gears with hardness case depths over .500" below surface. we have one out there that is heat treating big rig pinion gears.

mega watt generators are used to induction heat treat most axles, ford f150 rear axle are done on a 8 ft capable scanner using a 2 turn low impedance coil and a 1 mega watt generator.


the oscillator is used to heat treat much finer parts, such as splines with specs just below the root, or journals requiring extremely high surface hardness with minimal penetration. the majority of your transmission mating parts are hardened using radio freq. or other non af ranges.

So much copper to scrap .

lol we take back 3 full 55 gallon drums of 99.5 pure copper chips ever 2 months or so... or as we call it the owners beer money

Damn cool, love stuff like this!

Great Scott!! (in Doc Brown's voice)

Cool. Thanks.
