windings of the primary coil. This induces a low voltage, high current in
the work piece acting as the secondary coil.This high current results in the
heating up of the work piece.
The current is only flowing in the work piece, hence it is only this which
starts to heat up.The work piece is automatically demagnetised at the end
of each heating cycle.

• Remove packing material and place the induction heater on a non-fer-
rous, stable, flat surface.The box will normally contain the heater, a yoke
or a set of yokes, the temperature probe, a pair of heat-resistant gloves
and a small container of lubricant.
• Check the supply voltage and current meet the specifications on the type
plate to be found on the back of the machine.
• As there are a large number of plug types, not every Timken induction
heater is provided with a plug. When the heater is not provided with a
plug, a suitable plug has to be affixed by a qualified electrician.
• The wires should be connected as follows, there are 3 options depending
on what type of cable the heater is supplied with:
230V/110V 1 phase Heaters
Brown
Blue
Green/yellow
400, 450, 500V 2 phase Heaters
Brown
Blue
Green/yellow
• Make sure that the supply cable cannot come into contact with the bear-
ing that is to be heated. Insert the plug into a shockproof wall socket.
