Reduced electric reactance for electric arc furnace
Abstract
The reduction of the high current circuit reactance of 3-phase electric arc furnaces which will increase the thermoelectric efficiency is discussed. The improvement is expected to result in savings of electricity and other consumables and in reduced network turbulations. The reactance can be decreased by shortening or completely eliminating the flexible high current cables. To allow for the necessary tilting movements of the furnaces when tapping, disconnecting separations are designed which permit a mechanical separation of the high current circuit during current free situation.
