FAQs
What power supply does the Carbolite TG 1200 °C require?
The oven can be operated from a single-phase 220-240 V (16 A) power supply. Other power supply configurations are available on request.
How long does it take for the oven to reach the maximum temperature?
The heat-up time to the maximum operating temperature depends on the specific configuration and operating conditions. When using an empty quartz working tube and fiber insulation plugs, the heat-up time may vary.
Can the furnace be operated in an inert gas atmosphere?
Yes, the Carbolite TG 1200 °C can be operated in a protective gas atmosphere, making it ideal for applications that require a controlled atmosphere.
What safety precautions should be observed?
It is important not to exceed the maximum heating rate of +5 °C/min when using a ceramic working tube. In addition, the maximum continuous operating temperature should be 100 °C below the maximum temperature in order to extend the service life of the oven.
