This part of IEC 60519 is applicable to
– installations for induction and conduction heating of solids, at low, mains, medium and high frequencies (for conduction heating, use of direct current is also included);
– installations for induction melting, holding and superheating liquid metal at low, mains, medium and high frequencies;
– those parts of the conveying or handling equipment of the electroheat installation which are within the influence of the heating section.
Examples of application are:
– installations for induction and conduction heating of slabs, billets, rods, strip, wire, tubes, rivets, etc. for subsequent hot forming and heat treatment;
– installations with induction crucible furnaces or induction channel furnaces.
This standard consists of requirements common to both induction and conduction heating installations and induction melting installations (Clauses 1 to 14) and specific requirements for induction and conduction heating installations (Annex A) and specific requirements for induction melting installations (Annex B).
