Induction Heater Forging Iron

Using a resonant-lock induction heater of 10kw, a 4 lb billet of iron is heated to 2300F before tripping the 30A breaker. It just reaches welding temperature for some quick shaping with the hammer. A 40A breaker would have allowed us to get to 2500F. You can view the project at http://www.mindchallenger.com/inductionheater
