Magnaflux Power Pack: What is the Function of a Power Pack?

Onsite Magnaflux equipment rebuild

Failure is not an option when it comes to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). But the true mastery of inspections hinges on the unseen power of Magnaflux power packs. These packs do not just deliver current, but provide the controlled, high-intensity energy necessary to magnetize components precisely.

Whether using AC or DC current, Magnaflux power packs ensure uniform magnetic fields that enable technicians to detect cracks, seams, and flaws that would otherwise go unnoticed. Without a reliable power pack, inspections risk being incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent.

How it Works

A Magnaflux power pack converts electrical energy into the precise currents needed for effective magnetic particle inspection. With options ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 amps DC output and powered by a 3-phase AC input, these power packs accommodate a wide variety of part, from small components to heavy machinery.

Features such as reversing DC demagnetization allow technicians to eliminate residual magnetism, ensuring that parts are safe to handle and defects are clearly visible. The design also supports different inspection methods, including using prods, central conductors, or coil wrap techniques.

Why Power Pack Reliability Matters

Consistency is key in NDT. A high-quality Magnaflux power pack delivers stable current output, preventing false readings and reducing inspection errors. The ability to control amperage precisely, combined with robust construction, ensures that the power pack withstands demanding environments and repeated use.

When current levels fluctuate or components fail, the effectiveness of the inspection is compromised, risking both safety and compliance.
