Formula:
RN = (Wire Length (inch) / 12) x RPF Vp = I x RN Power = I x Vp Where, RPF =
Resistance per Feet (Ohms) [From Table] I = Current Required (Amps) [From Table] V p = Volts
Example:
A 30 inch nichrome C wire length with gauge as 12 and temperature as 450 degree fahrenheit.
Solution:
For wire gauge of 12, RPM value is 0.09907 (from Table).
RN = (Wire Length (inch) / 12) x RPF
= (30 / 12) x 0.09907
= 0.2477 Ohms
Vp = I x RN
= 12.725 (from Table) x 0.2477
= 3.2735 V
Power = I x Vp
= 12.725 x 3.2735
= 41.6554 Amps
Nichrome wire can be used as an alternative for platinum wire in flame testing. In NiCrC, additionally
Iron (Fe) is added along with Nickel and Chromium.
MMA/TIG Welding Machine -- TD-400H
Thyristor based power sources are the basic type arc welding power source used
for MMA/TIG applications. Current control is achieved through saturable core
reactor. Very reliable power source but not recommended for radiographic
welding application as there is no dependable feedback for maintaining the
output current constant due to fluctuation of input supply or change in load.
Power factor is poor for these power sources.
Special Features:
Advantages:
Simple to use.
Frequency : 50 Hertz
60% duty cycle 400 amps.3 Phase is divided into 6 phase input supply to the
primary of transformer and this produces better quality of output and stability of
current reduces the size of input KVA of the machine and enhances the power
