ZVS induction board, 1000W
These come with a coil, but a new smaller coil needs to be wound
Qty
1
Solid state relay heatsink
A heatsink is recommended for high duty cycle usage of the annealer
Qty
1
1/8”(3mm) copper tube for coil
I used the 3 x 0.5 size. Thinner wall section to get better water flow
Qty
1
12V cooling fan
Any PC case fan will work. 80mm fans will attach directly to the radiator. Order 12V, 2 wire fan - either ball bearing or sleeve.
Qty
1
Pushbutton momentary switches
LED current limit resistor is already on the controller PCB. Order 12V option.
Qty
3
Temperature sensor - Optional
This should get glued against the ZVS board capacitors.
Qty
1
Silicone tubing for plumbing
Water pump, tank and radiator have 8mm hose tails. Induction coil pipe ends are 5mm OD. Some reducers need to be made / figured out.
Qty
1
Jumper wires
Connecting OLED, current sensor, temp sensor and Servo to PCB. Either get Female-Female option or the mixed lot. 2 different length – 100 or 200mm
Qty
