What is the principle of an induction furnace?

Before buying a new induction furnace, we need to know not only the furnace itself, but also other factors such as capacity, working voltage, cooling method, What is the principle of an induction furnace?.

Similarly, the conductor in the alternating magnetic field will also generate an induced potential under the action of electromagnetic induction.

What is the principle of an induction furnace? Induced current (eddy current) is formed in the conductor. These currents generate Joule heat by overcoming the resistance of the conductor itself, thereby heating the conductor itself and causing it to heat up and melt, so as to achieve various thermal processing purposes.

Therefore, the basic components of the induction heating system of the melting furnace include an induction coil, an AC power supply, and some workpieces.

The induction coil is connected to a power supply, and the power supply provides AC power to the coil. The AC power flowing through the coil generates an alternating magnetic field passing through the workpiece, which causes the workpiece to generate eddy current induction heating.

The advantages of an induction furnace include the following:

The temperature control accuracy is high, and induction heating can easily achieve uniform heating. The application of the temperature control system can achieve temperature control, low energy consumption, and no pollution.

The above is what we shared today about the principle of electromagnetic induction heating of smelting furnaces. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
