What is the function of the furnace transformer?

1. transformers are everywhere and use alternating current. A transformer is an electrical device that uses voltage to exchange current in a circuit without affecting the total power. This means that it converts high-voltage power with a small current into low-voltage power with a large current, or converts low-voltage power with a large current into low-voltage power with a small current. One thing to know about transformers is that they only work with alternating current (AC), such as what you get from a wall plug, not direct current (DC).

2. In the process of transporting electricity over long distances, such as from a power plant to your home, energy is lost. If the voltage is high, the energy loss is small. Typically, power companies use high voltage in long-distance transmission lines. However, this high voltage is too dangerous for home use. In the case of home electric utilities, they use transformers to change the voltage of electricity from the power plant to your home.

3. Since the first potentiostatic transformer appeared in 1885, the transformer has become the key to the transmission, distribution and utilization of AC power in all electrical applications. At Power Temperature Systems, we specialize in manufacturing innovative equipment that efficiently and safely distributes and utilizes power for any project.

What are the characteristics of the furnace transformer?

1. The transformer used in EAF steelmaking should be able to adjust the voltage and current respectively according to the requirements of smelting, and can withstand the impact of short circuit current.

2. Many factors should be considered in choosing the rated voltage of furnace transformer. If the primary side voltage is high, the system reactance is small, and the short circuit capacity is large, flicker can be reduced, but the cost of the distribution device must be increased. The higher the secondary voltage, the higher the power factor, the higher the electrical efficiency, but the longer the arc, the faster the furnace wall loss, the lower the comprehensive efficiency.

3. Generally speaking, the secondary side of the furnace transformer has low current (tens to hundreds of volts) and high current (thousands to tens of thousands of amps). In order to ensure the different demand for electric energy in each smelting stage, the secondary voltage of the transformer should be adjustable within the range of 50% ~ 70%, so it is designed as a multistage adjustable form. The adjustment methods include transformation, load tap switch and so on.

What are the advantages of furnace transformer?

1. Large overload capacity

2. It has high mechanical strength

3. It has a large short circuit impedance

4. It has several secondary voltage levels

5. It has a higher transformation ratio

6. It has a lower secondary voltage and a larger current

7. The capacity ratio of EAF transformer to EAF is generally 0.4 ~ 1.2mva/t. The current of electric furnace is controlled by switching the tap of high voltage side winding of electric furnace transformer and lifting the electrode.
