Short Wave Infrared Lamps (IRSW) are widely used in industrial processes where fast and precise heating is required, such as thermoforming, packaging and printing applications.
A key aspect to consider is the inrush current: during switch-on, short wave IR lamps can draw a peak current significantly higher than the nominal value.
In single-phase (1PH) applications, selecting the correct power controller and firing mode is essential to:
✔ manage inrush current safely
✔ ensure stable and uniform heating
✔ reduce stress on power components
✔ improve system reliability
