Heat Treatment Rig (Rig)

These “Rigs” are sometimes trailer-mounted or on a 5-Ton Truck Unit. Similar to the Console, they usually have outputs in multiples of 3. 12-way, 18-way and 24-ways are the most common configurations, but they can be custom-built as well.

The primary difference is that these Rigs come with a self-contained Gen-Set. The rigs can have transformers to step down the voltage like consoles, or sometimes less efficiently, the gen-set itself lowers the voltage by using a single phase 110 Volts with a voltage reducing regulator. The rigs without transformers generally lose 15-25% of its total KVA potential.

Truck-mounted rigs have control rooms for the technicians to monitor and control the Field Heat Treatment process. Trailer Rigs may or may not have a control room.
