Portable Auto Degauss Magnetiser/Demagnetiser
Applications
The Auto Degauss System has multiple cable power delivery options applicable to large turbine and generator rotors, steam turbine blading and casings, pipes, vehicles, ships, aircraft and even buildings! Control of residual magnetism at pipe welds, reducing welding time and eliminating arc blow out. “Downcycle” demagnetizing with Full-Wave DC eliminates residual magnetism in complex metal structures, machinery parts, and high strength alloy components. Magnetizing for Magnetic Particle Inspection followed by thorough demagnetizing using the same cable set-up to save time!…
- The Auto Degauss System has multiple cable power delivery options applicable to large turbine and generator rotors, steam turbine blading and casings, pipes, vehicles, ships, aircraft and even buildings!
- Control of residual magnetism at pipe welds, reducing welding time and eliminating arc blow out.
- “Downcycle” demagnetizing with Full-Wave DC eliminates residual magnetism in complex metal structures, machinery parts, and high strength alloy components.
- Magnetizing for Magnetic Particle Inspection followed by thorough demagnetizing using the same cable set-up to save time!
- Utilize the Auto Degauss for ‘Loop’ or ‘Core’ testing for lamination shorts in electrical machines up to 500 HP/KW.
- Auto Degauss and Cable System is powerful enough to magnetize Permanent Magnet Generator Poles.
- Demagnetize all diameter pipelines with the Auto Degauss’ versatile cables and/or “neutralize” troublesome magnetism at weld locations.
- The MPS ADG can prevent costly downtime of rotating equipment by removing residual magnetism, which is often the source of damaging stray currents.
The Auto Degauss features an easy-to-use front panel with three operating modes:
- Manual AC for surface demagnetizing.
- Manual DC for demagnetizing and magnetizing.
- Automatic Full-Wave DC “Downcycling” for quality demagnetizing penetration of large or small items.
- Complete portability makes for easy use on scaffolding or in trenches; anywhere line power is made available.
- Single-phase voltage input (115-265V) from power sources of either 50 or 60 Hertz allows for use with almost any portable generator (10kW, for maximum power).
- The process of “downcycling” strategically and systematically reduces deep-seated magnetism to zero. At each “downcycling step”, the Auto Degauss reverses polarity and applies a precalculated power value to gradually reduce the magnetic field.
- Preset “hold times” attain magnetic field penetration into heavy steel sections thereby minimizing the number of runs required to remove residual magnetism.
- The Auto Degauss and accompanying cable transports completely in a self-contained, wheeled carrying case with retractable handle for easy movement and storage.
- Employs flexible cables available in 60, 100 and 120 foot lengths, for wrapping around or through large parts with “difficult to demagnetize” areas.
- If increased demagnetizing and/or magnetizing is needed, optional items provide increased power by 2X or more, for even the toughest of jobs!
- The Auto Degauss can “trim” or “neutralize” residual magnetism down to acceptable levels, at weld locations on a pipeline or between steel beams.
- The advanced and compact design of the Auto Degauss eliminates the need for bulky transformers, yet power delivery is equivalent to large “mobile” demagnetizing units that require cranes, forklifts or trucks to move.
- The superior efficiency of the Auto Degauss means that power draw from the line equals power delivery to the cable.
