Feature of dry-type film capacitor for mid-frequency furnace
The dc filtering film capacitor developed for mid-frequency furnace, which employed natural cooling, no need cooling water placed in. The design will save cost on cooling system and maintenance. But the working frequency and over-current can’t be as high as water cooled type capacitor.
While ironmaking and steel making process by medium-frequency coreless induction melting furnace, voltage sags and swells will be in good control.
What is good to use a coreless induction melting furnace?
- Line currents on the supply side are nearly balanced.
- Flicker contribution is below the limits specified in the standards.
- Reactive power demand is relatively low and the variations in the magnitude and rate of change of active power are not drastic.
- No voltage sag and swell phenomena arising from furnace operation.
