I bought 1000 watt induction heater off Amazon, used 1/4" copper tubing for coil. Started with 5 turns. Works great for everything I put in it, except a crucible, which is what I purchased it use! I'm wondering if I need to adjust my coil or if this product is just not enough to heat a crucible. My DC power supply goes up to 7amps and shorts out. Nothings burning, I have coil water cooled and fan blowing on heatsinks. Temp doesnt exceed 125° F. So question is... Is it my power supply, inductance of my coil, or zvs is not powerful enough? Thank you cant wait to hear back, been beating my head over this!
