Due to high unit capacities, electric arc furnaces are among the receivers that significantly affect power system from which they supplied. Arc generate a number of disturbances grid, including fast-changing voltage fluctuations causing phenomenon flickering light, asymmetry, and deformation curve. The main issues discussed in article problems related distortion current waveforms, resulting ope...

Breaking electric contact has been made for closing the circuits, respectively for taking over the temporary current conduction or for the long time conduction also for re-opening the closed electric circuit, putting out the current in this way. Although the contacts are the small parts of equipment volume in which they were mounted, there are complex exigencies and obviously different from cas...

One of the most effective ways of synthesizing carbon nanotubes is the arc discharge method. This paper describes a system supported by a magnetic field which can be generated by an external coil. An electric arc between two electrodes is stabilized by the magnetic field following mass flux stabilization from the anode to the cathode. In this work four constructions are compared. Different conf...

This paper presents a current control for a three-phase electric arc furnace of direct action. In order to do this, a fuzzy control system is proposed. The fuzzy system is a Mamdani fuzzy model and the environment used is Matlab. It has the current deviations as inputs and electrode speeds as outputs. Modifying the position of the electrodes, different arc lengths will be achieved. Also, a simu...

In this contribution Newton techniques based on Numerical Differentiation (ND), Direct Approach (DA) and Difference Matrix (DM) procedures are applied for the computation of the periodic steady state solution of single phase nonlinear electric networks containing magnetizing branches of transformers and alternating current arc furnaces. The results obtained with the Newton methods are compared ...

We developed a method to fabricate an array of silver non-planar nano-arc-gaps via inverted hemispherical colloidal lithography and shadow metal evaporation methods. It is found that there is a localized surface plasmon mode which results in extraordinary optical transmission. The electric field is strongly localized at the nano-arc-gap region and therefore induces a resonance that has an ultra...

[1] We report the first observations of E region neutral wind fields and their interaction with auroral arcs at mesoscale spatial resolution during geomagnetically quiet conditions at Mawson, Antarctica. This was achieved by using a scanning Doppler imager, which can observe thermospheric neutral line‐of‐sight winds and temperatures simultaneously over a wide field of view. In two cases, the ba...

Wave-like substorm arc features in the aurora and Pi2 magnetic disturbances observed in the near-Earth plasma sheet are frequently, and sometimes simultaneously, observed around the substorm onset time. We perform statistical analyses of the THEMIS ASI auroral observations that show wave-like bright spot structure along the arc prior to substorm onset. The azimuthal mode number values of the wa...
