Yachikov I.M., Portnova I.V. Behavior of a magnetic field in a bath of a dc arc furnace with different designs of a supply rail to a bottom electrode

Abstract

This paper gives a mathematical model to determine the magnetic fields near conductors to the bottom electrode of a DC arc furnace (DCAF) in the form of a helical line, a planar or spatial spiral of Archimedes. A computer simulation is used to analyze magnetic fields in a DCAF bath. Recommendations for the design parameters of the supply rail are given.

Keywords

DC arc furnace, magnetic field, conductors.
