Ohio / Power Equipment Selector Guide
Choosing
the Right Power Equipment
Magnets
and their related power equipment are interdependent and, when properly
matched and maintained, work together to offer high productivity and
long life. Selecting the magnet controller, generator or DC power supply
right for your magnet is important.
Ohio
Magnetics’ power equipment is designed for the toughest applications
and can be matched to your selected magnet by knowing the volts, amperes
and kilowatt requirements.
Magnet
Controllers
-
Most magnets operate at 230 VDC, the
optimum DC voltage for magnet designs. Other voltages are available on
request from our factory.
-
To select the proper controller,
select a size that will accommodate the cold amperage draw of the
magnet.
Magnet
Generators
-
Magnet generators normally used on
mobile cranes are sized in terms of output voltage and output kW.
-
To properly size your generator, you
need to know:
-
All
Ohio generators, whether
belt-driven or engine-driven, are Class H insulated, of drip-proof
construction, and suitable for use in all environments. This makes your
selection process much simpler.

Power Supplies (Rectifiers)
Low Voltage DC Power Supplies
Heavy-Duty
DC Power Supplies
-
DC power supplies, or rectifiers,
normally used in fixed locations such as wall-mount or directly mounted
to an overhead crane, are sized based upon AC input voltage, DC output
voltage, and power output.
-
To select the proper DC power
supply, you need to know:
-
(1) the available plant power (typically in the US, 240
VAC or 480 VAC, 3 PH 60 Hz),
-
(2) the voltage/cold
power (kW) requirements of the magnet,
and
-
(3) the environment in which the DC power supply will be
placed (to keep the unit dry and dust-free).
-
NEMA I enclosures are standard with
all Ohio DC power supplies. NEMA 12 (IP-65) and NEMA 3R (IP-32) options are available in
stock as well.
