ESTIMATED POWER REQUIREMENT CALCULATION
For all induction heating applications where workpieces of specific size and mass need to be heated to a specific temperature in a required period of time, you can use the formula below to calculate the approximate power of the generator required:
P = m • c • ΔT / t
