(Contact material evaluation and test system)

In a world where wattage exceeds 10,000/hr, several thousand amperes and several thousand volts ... Our technology is active in a world of high voltages and high currents of this class. In this field, often measuring instruments cannot endure measurements, which makes inspections and testing that much more difficult.
It is not uncommon that demand for such equipment comes at intervals of several decades or that customers have never dealt with such equipment. It is a field that requires experience and know-how, which Kawahara Electric Works has. For more than several decades, we have been supplying customized equipment to a broad diversity of businesses.
We fill these needs with control technology for high voltage, high current power supplies.

Example Customized Product

Contact material evaluation and test system

Drawing

NOTE
This equipment is used to evaluate performance of contact materials of high current breakers. It features a host of test modes and allows testing at various voltages and currents. It provides data recording support with logging and saving of voltage and current waveforms during testing. The system consists of a primary transformer panel, RL thyristor panel, operating panel and material test chamber.

DC power supply for vacuum tube oscillators

Drawing

NOTE
This equipment provides power supplies for high voltage tests of a maximum 10 kV DC 25 A. It incorporates a transformer, vacuum tube, voltage regulator, rectifying circuitry and safety devices.

Power supply for cable dryer

Drawing

NOTE
This power supply equipment makes it possible to feed electric current to special types of cable wiring so as to use the generated heat to dry the cable sheathing. Because temperatures cannot be externally measured due to the characteristics of the dried sheathing, the system incorporates instrumentation for inferring cable conductor temperature from the amount of current.

Power supply for lamp heating system

Drawing

NOTE
This power supply unit drives the lamps of a lamp heating system. It incorporates a required number of power modules and controls power supply to loads via external input, which makes it possible to individually control lamps.

Medical care equipment

Drawing

NOTE
This device is used in medical treatment performed in hospitals, clinics and medical centers. It complies with strict safety standards and regulations intended to ensure safety in the use of electric equipment, etc. Kawahara Electric Works makes insulated transformers for electric medical care equipment, compliant with JIS-T1022, JIS-T0601-1, JEC2200-1995 and JEM1333.

Capacity: 0.5, 1.5, 2, 3 and 7.5 KVA models are made for Japan, while models for international markets go as high as 10 KVA.

Transformer for high efficiency electric forging

Drawing

NOTE
This unit produces the power supply for quick heating equipment that requires spurts of massive currents of a max. 8,000 ~ 10,000 A at low voltages of 10 V or less. It incorporates overload protection and cannot be exposed to corrosive gases or dust. It is fabricated in an environment that must prevent load short-circuiting at all costs.

Disconnection alarm panel (Order-made product)

Drawing

NOTE
This unit combines disconnection alarms, current detecting CTs and voltage detecting TRs. It serves as a disconnection alarm panel of a diffusion furnace used for semiconductor manufacture. If a disconnection is detected, notification is made via an alarm output signal. The power control component (thyristor) differs slightly whether using phase control or zero crossing control. Resistance temperature coefficient is a key issue and detection is not possible with some heater materials, therefore contact Kawahara Electric Words for more information.
