Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for measuring, on each of the electrodes, the arc voltage during operation of an electric furnace intended for melting or transforming scrap.
  • the electric arc furnace is a device which aims to melt a metallic charge, put in the form of loose scrap, to obtain a molten steel bath.
  • This liquid metal may or may not be refined in the arc furnace itself to make it a steel of given characteristics. Above all, and this trend is becoming more and more marked in modern steelworks, the electric arc furnace is a tool for melting scrap.
  • An arc furnace is equipped with three vertical graphite electrodes.
  • the electrodes are each equipped with an individual raising and lowering means which allows, during the melting of a scrap charge, to be at all times at the right distance from the scrap.
  • the arcs are established between each of the electrodes and the charge to be melted.
  • the current which circulates in the electrodes is a three-phase alternating current, normally balanced, or almost, whose value is calculated in tens of thousands of amperes.
  • the current supply circuit has a significant impedance in front of the arc impedance, so that the arc voltage represents only about 70 to 90% of the voltage across the transformer.
  • the impedance of the current supply circuit is above all reactive, and its value is not constant because it depends on the geometry of the circuit, essentially deformable by the fact that the electrodes have possibilities of vertical translation of several meters during the time the arcs are established.
  • the measurement of the arc voltage comes from a calculation starting from a measured voltage value, either at the terminals of the supply transformer, or at the downstream ends of the cables for bringing the current leaving from these terminals.
  • the result of this measurement is very imprecise because the impedance of the circuit is variable and its value cannot be determined when calculating the arc voltage; for this calculation, it is assumed to have a constant mean value, which is necessarily inaccurate.
  • the results are not better, because then the measured voltage is false, due to the strong influence of the power currents which induce voltages error in the measurement circuit.
  • the measuring device of the invention allows a more precise arc voltage measurement than those carried out until now. It is applicable to electric ovens provided with electrodes the upper part of which is metallic and cooled by circulation of water, as described for example in patent US-A-4 121 042, and it is characterized in that it comprises a measuring wire starting from the fixing part of the graphite part of the electrode, passing in the longitudinal axis of the cooled metal part of said electrode, then passing inside one of the supply lines or cooling water return. According to particular characteristics, it results in an electronic assembly for transforming the signal received into light, or other electromagnetic wave, forming part of the measuring member proper, the signal thus transformed then being routed, for example by optical fiber. , towards the control room.
  • the electrode 1 is held by a clamp 6 placed at the end of a support arm 7.
  • the arm 7 is itself carried by a mast 8 adjustable in height by a conventional device not shown.
  • the electrical voltage from one of the three terminals of the secondary of the three-phase supply transformer is applied to the metal clamp 6 using power cables 9 and 10.
  • the metal part 4 of the electrode 1 is cooled by a water circulation circuit comprising a flexible water supply tube 11 terminating in the axis of the electrode, and a flexible water return tube 12 starting from the upper side.
  • an electrical measuring wire 16 starts from the connecting piece 5, or “Nipple”, a circuit along the axis of the cooled metal part 4, then passes inside the supply pipe of water 11, to lead to an electronic box 14 placed at the upstream end of the support arm 7.
  • the electronic box 14 includes a device measuring the instantaneous voltage at point 5, that is to say at the downstream end of the cooled metal part 4, transforming this measured voltage value into an effective voltage value, then converting this measurement into an optical signal which is then transmitted using an optical fiber 15 to the control room. The received signal is then used to regulate the vertical position of the mast 8, that is to say ultimately the arc power.
  • the invention allows a measurement greatly improved arc voltage.
  • the voltage is in fact measured on the connection piece 5, that is to say very close to the end of the electrode 1; the measuring wire 16 passes through the center of the metal part 4 and the induction is zero there because the electromagnetic field is zero at the center of a conductor.
  • the wire 16 then continues on its way inside the conduits 11 for supplying cooling water to the electrode. On this portion of the path, parasitic induction exists but is attenuated by the fact that the measurement cable 16 is carefully shielded by the material of the pipes. The measured voltage is converted into light in the box 14 then, transmitted by optical fiber 15, is no longer disturbed.
  • FIG. 2 shows the detail of the connections of the downstream part of the measurement cable 16 and of the water supply hose 11 with the cooled metal part 4.
