Parker Research DA-1500

Parker Research DA-1500

1,500 Amp AC/HWDC + AC Demag MPI Power Supply

Featuring Either End (E-E) Connectors

Overview

The Parker Research DA-1500 portable heavy duty magnetic inspection unit (1500 Amp) provides high output AC or HWDC fields for magnetic particle inspection. Field selection is determined by using the appropriate field cable connector. Current output is infinitely variable from zero to maximum by use of the current control located on the front panel, and is indicated by the panel meter. Actual current output is determined by cable size and length.

AC magnetic fields offer the best sensitivity for detection of surface defect indications. The AC field is also beneficial for demagnetizing after inspection. Half-Wave DC magnetic fields provide for the detection of certain subsurface detect indications. DC fields penetrate a cross section of the test area rather than just the surface. Optional magnetizing cables can be equipped with prods for circular magnetization. The cables can be wrapped around parts to form a coil for longitudinal magnetization. Demagnetization is accomplished in a similar manner.

 

Advantages & Features

  • Convenient and economical
  • Ideal for large or heavy parts, in-service mobile equipment, or job-site welds
  • The optional DA1500-DR comes equipped with an easy-to-read digital LCD display.
  • Selection of AC current or HWDC current by only changing one cable connection.
  • Locate defects in any direction using prods, coil wrap or contact clamps.
  • Infinitely variable current control.
  • Demagnetize your parts in AC by turning the current dial to zero or by passing parts through a coil and slowly withdrawing them while the current is on.
