NTRODUCTION The Proton Products PH160 series MKII wire preheaters are designed for use on continuous cable production lines for the preheating of bare solid and stranded wire prior to the application of extruded insulation. Wire preheating prior to insulation extrusion aids in the adhesion of the insulation to the wire.

ERFORMANCE Thermal conduction from the wire to the pulleys imposes a minimum line speed below which the preheater is unable to heat the wire to the set temperature. The minimum line speed is defined such that the pulley rim reaches 63% of the final temperature within 100s and 95% of the final temperature within 300s.
AXIMUM LINE SPEED SCALING FOR OTHER MATERIALS For materials other than copper, the maximum line speeds may be scaled as follows: Material Operating regime Multiply the maximum line speed by Loop voltage limited operation 0.71 Aluminium Power limited operation 1.42 Loop voltage limited operation (% conductivity of the wire) / 100 Copper-clad steel...
