Hotfoil-EHS — Mini-Me 6-Way Power Console

Powder Coated Frame & Panels | Eurotherm Ramp Controllers | 73 KVA | 480V Input | Camlock Outputs | Heavy Duty Lockable CastersSKU: 21215R | Part No.: 21215R

Overview

The Hotfoil-EHS Mini-Me 6-Way Power Console is a compact, self-contained, heavy-duty heat treatment power console engineered for field and shop post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and preheat operations where portability, ruggedness, and full 73 KVA output capacity are all equally critical. Designed as a more maneuverable alternative to the full-size stand-up console lineup, the Mini-Me frame brings the same proven Hotfoil-EHS component quality — Eurotherm ramp controllers, Albright contactors, 300-amp Camlock outputs, and a full-capacity 73 KVA transformer — into a compact, lockable-caster-equipped package that can be repositioned quickly between work stations, loaded onto vehicles, and deployed directly on the job site.

Supplied fully pre-wired and factory tested, the Mini-Me console arrives on site ready to connect and operate — no field wiring, no commissioning delays, and no missing components. Simply connect the primary power supply, attach the heating elements and thermocouples, and begin the heat treatment cycle.

The Mini-Me Advantage — Full Power, Compact Format

The Mini-Me frame designation reflects Hotfoil-EHS's design philosophy of delivering full industrial-grade capability in a more compact, field-maneuverable package. Unlike the full-size stand-up console which requires a fixed installation position, the Mini-Me's heavy duty lockable casters allow the unit to be rolled freely across shop floors, positioned precisely at the work site, and locked firmly in place during operation — combining the stability of a stationary console with the mobility of a portable unit.

Despite its compact form factor, the Mini-Me makes no compromises on electrical capacity or component quality:

• Full 73 KVA output — identical transformer capacity to the full-size 6-way console lineup
• 480V primary input — compatible with standard industrial 3-phase power supply infrastructure
• 80V secondary output — the optimal low-voltage output for ceramic mat heater and resistance heating element operation
• 125 Amp circuit breaker — robust overcurrent protection for both the console and the connected load
• 250 Amp Albright contactors — industry-standard, heavy-duty contactors with a proven track record of reliable switching performance in continuous heat treatment duty cycles

Eurotherm EHS 3216 Ramp Controllers

Each of the six heating circuits is independently controlled by a dedicated Eurotherm EHS 3216 Ramp Controller — giving the operator complete, independent control of the heat treatment profile for each zone. Key controller capabilities include:

• Programmable ramp and soak temperature profiles — set heating rate (°F or °C per hour), target soak temperature, and hold duration independently for each circuit
• PID auto-tuning for optimal control performance across a wide range of heater configurations and weld joint geometries
• Over-temperature alarm with independent cutback to protect workpieces and heating elements
• Thermocouple input compatible with Types J, K, R, S, and B
• Clear front-panel display with setpoint, process value, and program status indication
• Rugged construction rated for continuous industrial duty

300-Amp Camlock Output Connections

The Mini-Me console is equipped with 12 panel-mounted 300 Amp female Camlock connectors — two per heating circuit — providing a fast, secure, and industry-standard connection point for ceramic mat heater cables and resistance heating element leads. Key advantages of the Camlock connection system include:

• Tool-free connection and disconnection — Camlock connectors engage and release quickly without tools, reducing setup and teardown time on multi-joint heat treatment operations
• 300 Amp rating — capable of handling the full current demand of high-power ceramic mat heater arrays without derating or overheating
• Panel-mounted female sockets — recessed, protected connection points that prevent accidental contact with live conductors during setup and operation
• Industry standard — compatible with all standard Camlock-equipped ceramic mat heater cables and extension leads

Pre-Wired and Factory Tested

Every Hotfoil-EHS Mini-Me Power Console ships fully pre-wired and factory tested — meaning the unit arrives on site ready to connect and operate immediately. There is no field wiring of control circuits, no controller configuration from scratch, and no time lost to on-site commissioning. Simply connect the 480V primary power supply, attach the heating element cables to the Camlock outputs, connect the thermocouples to the controller inputs, and begin the heat treatment cycle.

Compliance & Standards

The Hotfoil-EHS Mini-Me 6-Way Power Console is suitable for use in heat treatment operations governed by the following codes and standards:

• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code — Section I, Section VIII, Section IX
• AWS D1.1 — Structural Welding Code (Steel)
• API 1104 — Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities
• ASME B31.1 / B31.3 — Power Piping / Process Piping
• NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 — PWHT requirements for sour service components

Ideal Applications

• Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of pressure vessels, piping, and structural weldments
• Preheat maintenance during welding of thick-section or high-alloy steels
• Stress relief of fabricated assemblies prior to machining or service
• Field heat treatment on construction sites and fabrication yards requiring a mobile, self-contained console
• Shop heat treatment in heavy fabrication, boiler manufacturing, and pressure vessel facilities
• Any multi-zone heat treatment application requiring independent ramp control per circuit in a compact, mobile format
