Wire Preheating

PH600 Series

PH600 Series - front view

Features

  • For induction preheating of solid and stranded copper, copper-clad and aluminium wires up to 200¡ÆC (300¡ÆC for High Temperature (-HT) models) prior to insulation extrusion.
  • Improve insulation-to-wire adhesion and stripping characteristics, especially at high line speeds.
  • Preheats solid wires up to 6mm in diameter and stranded wires up to 6.8mm in diameter.
  • Housed in rugged enclosures to survive harsh industrial environments.
  • Controlled using a user-friendly, menu-based LCD interface display unit.
  • Available with industry-standard communications interfaces fitted either as standard or as an option.
  • Available in different power output models suitable for all budgets and line speeds.
  • Available in 400 and 480 VAC 3-phase mains supply voltage models.

Operating principle

PH-Operating-PrincipleThe preheater is built around a large transformer and three freely rotating pulleys. The wire is looped around the three pulleys and through the core of the transformer. The wire entry/exit pulley is electrically conducting and thus short-circuits the wire loop to form a single secondary turn for the transformer. Electrical power delivered to the transformer primary is transformed in to a large induced current in the wire which causes rapid and concentrated heating of the wire.

Technology

The shorting pulley rim is manufactured from a special copper alloy that has high electrical conductivity and good wear resistance.

The insulating pulleys are manufactured from resin bonded fabric which has good wear resistance and low thermal conductivity to minimise wire-to-pulley heat loss.

The pulleys are mounted on low friction, double row ball bearings to minimise the drag force (tension increase) on the wire as it passes through the preheater. Both pulleys are precision machined to ensure that uniform tension is applied to the wire, thus reducing SRL problems in data and telecommunications cable applications.

The preheater is powered from a 3-phase mains supply which is rectified to provide a DC supply. An IGBT-based high frequency inverter circuit converts this DC supply in to a single phase, pulse width modulated (PWM) square wave to drive the transformer primary. The inverter output frequency is automatically adjusted according to the wire size to deliver all the available power to the wire for maximum temperature at high line speeds.

Line inductors are fitted to improve the power factor and wave shape of the current drawn from the mains supply and also minimise the effect of phase imbalances. The preheater is fully protected against mains supply phase loss or brownouts.
