Dual Frequency vs Simultaneous Dual Frequency

Learn the difference between these types of induction power supplies

What is the difference between a dual frequency induction power supply and one capable of simultaneous dual frequency?  A power supply with dual frequency capabilities (DF) allows the operator to switch between two different frequency ranges on the same generator.  This type is ideal for a company that wants to purchase only one generator but may have more than one application that might require different frequency ranges. For example, one process might require a frequency range of 8-40 kHz (medium frequency) and another might require 140-350 kHz (high frequency).  Both frequencies ranges are possible; however, the operator can only use one range at a time.

Operators using simultaneous dual frequency power supplies (SDF), on the other hand, are able to use two different frequency ranges at the same time.  This type of generator is ideal for gear hardening.
