Engineering Risks & FAQ - **Caution**: - **Caution**: - **Caution**: ### Q: What metals can this furnace melt? **A**: This furnace is designed for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, zinc, and lead. It can also be used for alloys and recycling scrap. The specific metal type and charge size must be within the furnace's capacity and temperature range. ### Q: How does temperature control work? **A**: The furnace uses electromagnetic induction to generate heat directly in the metal. Temperature is controlled by adjusting the power and frequency of the induction current. The system maintains a temperature accuracy of ±5 °C, ensuring consistent melting conditions. ### Q: What are the installation requirements? **A**: Installation requires a suitable electrical supply (380–690 V AC, three-phase, 50/60 Hz), a cooling water system with flow rate of 10–200 L/min and inlet temperature of 5–35 °C, and a foundation capable of supporting the furnace weight (2–20 tons). The ingress protection rating is IP54–IP65, so it should be installed in an appropriate environment. ### Q: How do I verify the furnace's specifications? **A**: All parameters listed are reference ranges. You must confirm the exact values for your specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. Also verify compliance with any applicable standards, such as IEC 60529 for ingress protection. ## 6.
