1、operation of the electric arc furnace with examples author: luis ricardo jaccard .br introduction certain issues related to the operation of electric arc furnaces are well known but others, especially those relating to the effects of electrical parameters on consumption (energy and electrodes) or on
2、 the arc characteristics (stability and length) are frequently cause of misunderstandings. the confusion usually arises from the propaganda of some regulators manufacturers that assign to their equipment the ability to increase power, reduce energy consumption, modify lengths and/or stabilize the ar

4、ired active power and expected productivity with stable arc (appropriate power factor) and with the least possible consumption of electrodes, without excessive erosion of walls and roof of the furnace, avoiding overloading the transformer or disturbing excessively the electrical grid. but, except in
5、 extreme cases, the electrical parameters of operation have little or no influence on the amount of energy needed to produce a given amount of steel. 3 energy consumption energy consumption for producing one ton of steel depends on the size of the furnace, the type of charge, melting and shut down t

8、ctricity but also by the chemistry (oxygen reacting with carbon). in the previous example, the furnace demanded an amount of energy of 565 kwh per ton of product, but that energy could be supplied with different rates of electricity and chemistry, for example: this is the same furnace consuming the
9、same amount of energy but with different percentages of chemical energy. the electrical energy depends on the amount of chemical energy. 5 total energychemical energyelectrical energy 565105460 565145420 565185380 electrical losses the electrical losses (i . r) are those that occur in the conductors
10、 of the furnace according to the current flow. lets see the effect of these losses on the energy consumption for an furnace that has a loss resistance of 0,4 mohm, usually operates with 1200 v, 60 ka and power factor 0,75. we start from the premise that, for the normal type of charge of the furnace,
11、 the power consumption is 565 kwh/t, with 165 kwh/t for chemical energy. it is observed that by reducing current from 60 ka to 50 ka occurs a very small reduction in energy consumption accompanied by a strong reduction of active power (lower productivity). reducing the voltage from 1200 v to 700 v o
12、bviously causes a sharp drop in power with some increase in total energy consumption. 6 v (v) i (ka) p (mw) electrical losses power (mw) electric. losses c. (kwh/t) energy consump.

13、2 7006054,54,331,6578,2165413,2 analysis of energy consumption the energy consumption of a furnace depends strongly on the type of load. when the scrap has low density or the furnace has low volume is sometimes necessary to load the furnace with three or four baskets per heat. for loads made with mo
14、re than two baskets, each additional load, increases energy consumption by about 25 kwh/t (for a 50 ton furnace). for our original example, if the load were conducted in four stages, the total energy consumption (electric + chemical) could be increased to 615 kwh/t (a bit less for a 100-ton furnace)
15、. energy consumptions usually are referred to the tons of product and, if the metal yield is low, specific consumption increases. if the furnace consumed 565 kwh per ton of product with yield of 89%, scrap with a lower density that causes a yield of 83% would increase the energy consumption to 606kw
16、h/t. also consider the effect that a dirty scrap causes in energy lost in the slag, by requiring greater amounts of lime used. higher final steel temperature is also an obvious cause of higher energy consumption high tap to tap times, especially when resulting from high power off times, are generall
17、y the main cause of high consumption. 7 active power while the values of voltage, current and reactance do not cause a decisive effect on the energy consumption of the furnace, they are essential to achieving the desired productivity with a stable arc, low consumption of electrodes and normal arc at
18、tack to the walls. to achieve a certain production of steel per hour, it will be required a certain power: p (kw) = cee (kwh/t) x g (t) / power on (h), where cee is the specific consumption of electrical energy, g (t) is the weight of product per heat and power on is the operating time per heat. for
19、 a given process, as seen, the furnace requires a certain total amount of energy that can be provided with greater or lesser proportion of chemical energy. the furnace power on time will always be proportional to the specific consumption of electricity but will decrease when increasing the consumpti
20、on of chemical energy (see example). 8 power on time example: power on times for a 100 tons furnace with total power consumption of 565 kwh / t, using different chemical energy consumption values and different active power values. 9 total energy (kwh/t) chemical energy (kwh/t) electrical energy (kwh

23、 be almost equal. the main difference is that with higher voltages are needed lower currents (lower consumption of electrodes) and, also, higher arc lengths (more heat radiation to the walls). arc length is proportional to arc voltage (usually 1 mm/v) 10 power (mw)applied voltage (v) current (ka) ar

30、gulator fails to maintain constant current, the electrodes go up and down without stopping. stable arc electrode unstable arc stable and unstable arc for 1000 v and reactance of 6 mohm stable and unstable arc explanation of the previous graphic: to reduce the current is necessary to increase the arc
31、 length, raising the electrodes. under normal conditions, the decrease in current causes a decrease in voltage drop and, consequently, the arc voltage increases. we have then a stable condition, because the arc length was increased by the regulator and the arc voltage also increased as the effect of
32、 the circuit. but when it is made an attempt to regulate a current lower than the corresponding to the stability limit, the distance between the electrodes and the load is greater than necessary to maintain the arc with the available voltage and extinction occurs. due to the interruption of the curr
33、ent, the regulator lower the electrodes to cause re- ignition. but the resulting current will be higher than expected and the regulator raises the electrodes until a new arc extinction occurs. thus, the electrode will remain up and down without stopping. this phenomenon is known as pumping. in this
34、case there is an incompatibility between the selected voltage and current, that in addition to greatly reduction of the active power, can cause vibrations in the arms and jerking of electrodes and water cooled cables. 14 long arc and unstable arc it is quite common to associate an unstable arc with
35、a long arc. but, in reality, an arc can be very long and perfectly stable. the arc length is defined by the arc voltage but stability is defined by the sinusoidal cosine phi which can not exceed a certain value (approximately 0,85 for the period of boring, 0,88 for melting and 0,90 for refining). th
36、e values of the following table were calculated for the boring-down period and for a sinusoidal reactance of 6 mohm: 15 vi (ka)cos fi sinus.cos fi realvaarc stability 1200650,8260,670464stable 1200600,8540,686475+/- stable 1200550,8790,695481unstable 1200500,9010,699484much unstable 1200450,9210,698
37、483much unstable clearly define if an arc is long or short is a relative matter. from a practical point of view one could say that for a modern high-capacity furnace, an arc of 250 mm is a short arc, an arc of 450 mm is long and one of 650 mm is much long. in fact, as was seen, it is possible to sta
38、bilize any length and constraints to further increase the length of the arc are: the erosion of the walls and foamy slag height. however, in relation to this topic there are also some misunderstanding. some manufacturers place on their electrode current controllers an option to short arc or “l(fā)ong ar
39、c which in reality corresponds to “higher current or “l(fā)ower current. in fact, as can be seen in the previous table, a decrease in current causes a very small increase in the arc voltage and below a certain point (stability limit) destabilizes the arc. in addition, the power drops vertiginously. 16 l
40、ong arc and short arc electrode consumption 17 electrode consumption (kg / t), for the same electricity consumption (kwh / t) is proportional to the ratio between the current and arc voltage i / va (tip consumption) and a slightly more complex relationship corresponding to consumption by oxidation b
41、ut that basically shows a dependence on (h x d / i ), where h x d is the oxidation of the electrode surface (h is the height of oxidation and d is the diameter of the electrode). based on the formula we conclude that the use of electrodes is inversely proportional to the arc voltage, as long as the
42、diameter of the electrode adapts to the current (with decreasing current, lower electrode diameter). not always a reduction in current causes a decrease in electrode consumption because when the current is too low in relation to the diameter of the electrodes a current reduction causes an increase i
43、n consumption by oxidation higher than the reduction of the tip consumption. this effect is heightened even more when the current falls below the stability limit (see figure). 18 electrode consumption 19 0.9 1.2 1.4 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.4 2.7 2.9 3.2 3.4 3.7 3.9 4.2 4.4 4.7 4.9 5.2 202530354045505560657075

45、rtant issue, we can say that the levels of flicker and harmonic distortion are proportional to the short- circuit power of the furnace scf (reactive power when the electrodes are in direct contact with metal). from an operational perspective what can be done to decrease by approximately 20% the leve
46、ls of disturbance (flicker and harmonics), without reducing the active power is to operate with low real power factor (about 0,63/0,65) because with this condition the relation scf / p is lower, and, also, because the arc is more stable (see figure). flicker 21 0.75 0.80 0.85 0.90 0.95 1.00 1.05 0.3

48、t is compatible with the dimensions of the furnace and with the characteristics of the transformer and power circuit. the active power is the product arc voltage x current“. for a given active power, the higher the arc voltage, the greater the aggression of the arc to the walls and, in general, the
49、lower electrode consumption. the power on time is proportional to the specific consumption of electrical energy and inversely proportional to the active power. a greater proportion of chemical energy reduces electrical energy consumption and indirectly reduces the power on time. 22 large furnaces op
