Phase 12 and 12B Electrical Specifications
All standard Thermal Analyzers are available with either 2, 10 or 20 amp maximum heating current capacity, indicated by placing a "-2", a "-10" or a "-20" after the model number. The Phase12B is a high current version of the standard Phase12 Thermal Analyzer, and is only available with a 100 amp maximum heating current capacity. The following specifications are labeled where differences exist between the 2, 10, 20 and 100 amp units; otherwise, specifications apply to all versions. AC power requirements are assumed to be 120 VAC, 50/60Hz unless otherwise specified at the time ordering. For higher power testing, the Power Booster can extend the current capacity to 1000A and heating power delivery to 4500W.
