Melting of Aluminum can easily be achieved by shorting a graphite crucible with UPS Transformers. A big enough setup can actually replace induction heaters for this job.

    • That was not the reason because of which i removed it. The bigger size of the contacts increased the current flow, so to reduce that current, i shortened them.

  • You should try a saturated inductor like what they use for a welder. An old large Transformer you run your line through one side of the Transformer the higher current side and then the lower current side you run around 24 V DC on a small little potentiometer. The more DC that saturates the Transformer the less electrons can flow through which in turn creates resistance

    • And it looks more like zinc or something. Aluminium is more like water when fluid and also didnt melt, if the crucible is realy red. May be i am wrong, but didnt look to me, like it's aluminum. May be an alloy that looks somehow other than what i know.. i dont know. Away from that: Try not to use a small contact gap for heating the crucible. I would think a longer gap should give a bigger resistant to more fit the voltage and heat more area, so the crucible wont be cooled so much because of the area, which isnt heated by current. I would try to connect the (first round) crucible one contact at the bottom and one at the top in a ring shape, so to make a big surface contact and also heating the hole crucible by current. I would be very curious, if that would work better... Rewireing like you said would be also an idea.. but that work :) .. I had this idea in mind for a very long time and i am so happy, you done it. just to see, if it will work and under which conditions. Go on, good work !

  • Please take care! Floor tiles do not handle the stress from uneven heat distribution. I have had plenty shatter on me due to concentrated heat. Because they are serving as the base for the crucible it could be an serious accident waiting to happen if the tile shatters, tipping the crucible and then causing the molten metal to spill.

  • At a metal melting pot increase voltage to 480 volts ac between carbon electrodes separated and hung above pot. Fill pot with metal you wish to melt. wear welding shield and gloves. Very slowly lower electrodes toward metal in pot. Voltage on between electrodes while lowering. When arc is born, slowly back out electrodes a little. Fan suck hose above melt to outside. This is effective and proven technology. The only heat is arc. 50 amps max. Higher voltage stops wire heat up effect you are finding problematic. I saw this in operation for real. 😮😮😮 Three phase 480volts three electrodes. A Large truck alternator with diodes taken out. Feed ABC phases to ABC ELECTRODES. ONE PHASE ONE ELECTRODE.

      @MrElectron@MrElectron3 ай бұрын

  • Your secondary voltage is much too high, most of the power and heat leaves through the wires and transformers. You should connect your primaries in series (2-3 each) and the secondaries in parallel. The voltage will be lower and the current essentially the same, leading to less energy wasted there.

    @levieux1137@levieux11372 ай бұрын

    • I thought that too but there was another way to achieve that by adding a 2kw dimmer circuit to the primary so i did that.

      @MrElectron@MrElectron2 ай бұрын

    • @@MrElectron sure but it still wastes energy in the dimmer or, if it's a switching dimmer, alternantes between high current with losses and zero, then delivers less total power. With the transformers in series by 2 or 3, you'd reduce the peak voltage to what you currently observe without heating the core and primary as much. This would also allow you to add even more transformers ;-) BTW, kudos for machining the graphite to make a current conducting crucible, I love the idea!

      @willytarreau6017@willytarreau60172 ай бұрын

    • Actually, what's more important is to limit the overall ouput current to 20A per transformer for which the dimmer is still necessary. I understand that by connecting the primaries in series, i can bring the output voltage down to half and even lesser output amps, but to maintain them at precise 20A , dimmer is still a necessity at the cost of some minor losses.

  • Столько трансформаторов... и столь мизерный результат. Знаете, где ваша ошибка? Ваши трансформаторы дают слишком высокое напряжение и вся их мощность растрачивается на нагрев обмоток. Вы получили бы лучший результат, если бы взяли всего один трансформатор (ну, возможно два), и перемотали бы вторичную обмотку. Оставили бы три-четыре витка, но гораздо более толстым проводом. Можно было использовать тот же который был, но сложить штук по пять проводов. Вот тогда вся мощность пошла бы в тигель. И он был бы ярко красным. А еще практический совет. У кого есть столько трансформаторов от ИБП? Может быть их надо купить? Сварочный инвертор обойдется дешевле. А результат точно такой же.
