61 -- INDUCTION HEATING POWER SUPPLY SOL F33601-96-RA052 DUE 082096 POC For copy, ASC/PKWO, Attn: Bldg 260, 1940 Allbrook Dr, Ste 3, WPAFB OH 45433-5309 POC: R Fulmer/PKWOCB/513-257-5858 Fax No 513-257-3926. Wright-Patterson AFB OH has a need for an Induction Heating Power Supply. It is required for use in performing controlled melting and solidification of titanium and determining the effect of process variables on the structures that evolve during casting process. The Power Supply shall be capable of, as a minimum, meet the following specifications: 1. Must be capable of delivering 30 kW of RF power at the coil. 2. Work coil must be able to operate remotely up to 200 feet away from the power supply. Flexible low voltage power cord is required to connect the coil to the power supply. 3. Equipment must be all solid state, no vacuum tubes. 4. Output power must be stable with a plus or minus of 10% fluctuation in incoming AC power line. 5. Power supply must have a synthesized digital frequency control that continously tunes to the resonant frequency to optimize efficient part heating. 6. Must have ground fault detection to shut off RF power when a connection between the coil and earth ground is detected. Work coil must be isolated from ground. 7. Operating frequency must tune at the peak resonance within a range of 50-200 kHz. 8. Power Supply to be supplied with closed cabinet cooling. 9. Must incorporate a 4-20mA input circuit so that it may be controlled through an optical pyrometer or thermocouple type temperature controller. 10. Loop powered isolator mounted on the 4-20mA circuit in the power supply. 11. Digital front panel display. 12. Heat On and Ready relay circuit. 13. Operates on 440 volts, 60 Hz, 3 phase. DC voltage regulation regulates the DC output to plus or minus of 1/2% with a 10% fluctuation in incoming AC power line. 14. RS232/RS485 Input/Output option on power supply. 15. Spare Parts Kit for power supplies consisting of fuses, flow swithes and plastic tubing.
