Abstract

1,237,834. Automatic power control of electric furnaces. KNAPSACK A. G. May 20, 1969 [May 31, 1968], No.25600/69. Heading G3R. A polyphase electric furnace such as a three phase reduction furnace is operated at a constant power input with the electrode currents maintained at equal values, the latter condition being achieved by varying the voltages between the electrodes upon the occurrence of dissymmetries in the charge resistance. In the described embodiment the electrodes 1, 2, 3 are supplied from transformers 7, 8, 9 controlled by members 4, 5, 6 of the control system shown in Fig. 2 which varies the voltage associated with the pair of electrodes having the least difference in current, for example the transformer 7 if the current difference between electrodes 1 and 2 is less than the current difference between electrodes 1 and 3. Members A---E are known controllers which function as follows: - (1) Controller A compares actual power Wa with desired power Wd to determine the output signal from controller B. (2) Controller B receives a signal Id representative of desired electrode current, which signal is varied by the output signal from controller A to produce a corresponding desired current signal I'd. (3) Controllers C 1 C 2 C 3 compare the actual current through each electrode with the desired current signal I'd, the outputs of these controllers each being applied to the pair of the members 4, 5, 6 associated with the corresponding electrode e.g. C 1 supplies members 4, 6 associated with electrode 1. (4) Controllers D 1 D 2 D 3 compare the actual electrode currents to derive corresponding difference signals each of which is supplied to an appropriate pair of the controllers E 1 E 2 E 3 (5) Controllers E 1 E 2 E 3 compare the pairs of current difference signals and control appropriate pairs of the members 4, 5, 6 to determine which of these members is to respond to an adjusting instruction produced by a corresponding controller C 1 C 2 C 3 , this determination being based upon the criterion of least current difference already defined.
