Induction Furnace Power Monitoring

Task:
A major valve manufacturer needs to monitor the Power Factor of their inductive heating furnaces.

Solution:
A210 Power Meters are used to monitor the Power Factor of their inductive heating furnaces. Electric energy consumption is optimized which lowers operating costs while at the same time maintaining product quality.

Three values such as Voltage, total Current, phase Current, kWatt, kVAR, Active Power (Watts), Reactive Power (VAR), and Power Factor (pF) can be shown on the A210 triple display. These values allow you to monitor the running system.

The A210 also has two alarm functions, which can be set up by the user for Power Factor limits. If something causes the power factor to deviate, it will trigger an alarm and indicate the actual measurements when an alarm was triggered.

The two alarms can be set at different levels: low value as a warning and a higher value for a possible corrective action.

This alerts the operator of a potential problem and provides a cost effective way to prevent lost production.
