Calculation of the Power-Supply Circuit of an Ore-Smelting Furnace

Abstract

A modern technique is proposed to calculate the electrical parameters of the characteristic sections of the power-supply circuits of ore-smelting furnaces, namely, laminated stacks, flexible part, and tubular busbars of the power-supply circuit of an electrode. This technique is based on the results of numerical simulation of the electromagnetic field of a set of conductors with the ANSYS software package and on a mathematical model for calculating the inductance of a system of two rectilinear conductors arbitrarily located in space.
