Lepel T-5-3-KC-JB-W RF Generator 12.5 KVA 230-460V 3-Phase T50462

Lepel T-5-3-KC-JB-W RF Generator 12.5 KVA 230-460V 3-Phase T50462

The Lepel T-5-3-KC-JB-W is a 12.5 KVA high-frequency RF generator manufactured by Lepel High Frequency Laboratories, Inc. of New York. It is a vacuum tube-based induction heating power supply designed to convert three-phase line power into high-frequency RF energy for use with an external induction work coil. The unit is housed in a gray steel cabinet mounted on a mobile stainless steel rolling cart with casters, and uses a combination of water cooling (internal tank coil and output circuit) and forced-air ventilation to manage heat at operating power levels.

  Condition: Used
  This Lepel T-5-3-KC-JB-W High Frequency RF Generator (12.5 KVA) was pulled from a working industrial environment where it had been previously in use. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility. The cabinet and front panel show normal wear for equipment of this age, including surface oxidation and minor scuffing on the gray enclosure; the front panel controls, meters, and indicator lights appear intact. Internally, the water-cooled tank coil, RF output coil, power transformers, capacitor bank, and wiring are all present and appear complete, with no obviously missing or severely damaged components visible. Water cooling plumbing fittings and the input power cable are included. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
