Home Products & Service Steel Steelmaking EAF - Electric Arc Furnaces Alternating-current electric arc furnaces
Extra experience. Our AC electric arc furnaces have proven their performance capability worldwide in numerous plants since the very beginnings of electric steelmaking. Over the years, we have constantly improved and upgraded our designs. That’s why our modern AC electric arc furnaces offer you extremely high performance and a transformer capacity of up to 1 MVA/t and beyond.
Extra performance. Today our AC high-impedance furnaces represent cutting-edge technology. Why? Because they feature low reactance on the secondary side as well as a reactor coil on the primary side of the furnace transformer. Here are the benefits:
- Lower energy consumption
- Lower electrode consumption
- Fewer electrode breakages
- Stable electric arc operation
- Lower mechanical forces acting on the electrodes and the electrode arms
- Less grid interference
