Arc Flash furnaces in smelters with current inrush and re-strikes
Arc Flash furnaces in smelters with current inrush and re-strikes
(OP)
Hello, thank you for your time.
Throughout the industry, large Arc Flash furnaces are used in smelters that demand large current inrush capacity and re-strikes (high current peak in a very short period).
Is there a way to control these spikes irrespective of having a utility connection or islanded network in order to limit the potential for network interruptions?
Please tell me if there are any diagrams that can help me understand.
Thanks a lot.

The arc furnace is in a network that is usually connected to a utility grid. However, if a disturbance occurs on the utility grid, the network is islanded.
Thanks.

There are also presentations on SVC from ABB and other manufacturers.
