Design of C-type Passive Filter for Arc Furnaces

R. Klempka, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, Krakow, Poland The article presents an example of power supply system modernization in one of Polish steelworks. For the existing power system containing 3rd harmonics filters it was necessary to design a C-type filter for the 2nd harmonics. Two desig...

Slag Furnaces - Some Issues for Optimal Design and Operation

'Rules-of-thumb', some of which were originally intended for arc furnaces, play a significant role in the design process for slag containing furnaces. Lack of fundamental understanding of the physics driving the performance of these furnaces sometimes results in either overly conservative, or poorly performing designs. This paper will explore some key technical issues related to the correct des...
