What is an electric furnace transformer?

1. A transformer designed to supply power to various electric furnaces. Industrial furnace transformers can be roughly divided into three categories: resistance furnace transformer, electric arc furnace transformer and induction furnace transformer.

2. furnace transformer is used for mechanical parts heating, heat treatment, powder metallurgy sintering, non-ferrous metal melting resistance furnace and salt bath furnace. Because the resistance of the heating element is too small, or the resistance of the heating element changes too much during the heating process, it is necessary to equip a resistance furnace transformer between the furnace and the power network to reduce and regulate the input voltage of the furnace.

3. transformer for electric furnace small capacity, low voltage resistance furnace transformer and salt bath furnace transformer is mostly dry type transformer, with box shell, natural cooling; Medium capacity (hundreds to thousands of volt-ampere) resistance furnace transformers are mostly oil-immersed self-cooling transformers; Large volume is forced

How to replace the furnace transformer?

1. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of turning off the power. In fact, when I work with any appliance, my OCD forces me to constantly check that the power is really turned off. I also made a point of using chairs to enclose the area around the circuit breaker. I mean, not exactly, but it's not a bad idea. However, you can inform others not to turn on the power because you will be working in the electrical part of the furnace.

2. Once you are sure that the power is off, you can open the furnace cover to find the transformer.

3. You can use wire cutters to cut the four wires connected to the transformer.

4. Next, you can remove the transformer using a screwdriver. You may also need a socket wrench, depending on its attachment.

5. Connect the new transformer. If your new transformer comes with instructions, be sure to read them carefully. Remember to connect the correct wires for each power and auxiliary wire.

6. Finally, test the newly installed transformer with a voltage tester. If you need it, the following video can help. Remember to turn the power on at the circuit breaker. Put the lid back on the stove and you're done.

What caused the furnace transformer to explode?

1. Unqualified contractors: Unqualified contractors are one of the most common causes of transformer bursts. This is because a faulty contractor can put the whole system under stress, and if the pressure becomes too high, the transformer can explode.

2. Wiring problems: If there are loose cables or wires inside the transformer, they may cause a short circuit and blow up the transformer.

3. Power surge: Similarly, a power surge can cause a transformer to explode, causing problems throughout the unit.
