Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric furnaces, and more specifically to a novel industrial frequency power supply for electric furnaces. Background Art
[0002] Industrial frequency power refers to the AC power used in industry, generally refers to the frequency of the mains, 50Hz or 60Hz. In modern power systems, industrial frequency power is usually generated by the generator of the power plant, and then transmitted to the user end through transformers and transmission lines. At the user end, industrial frequency power can be used for various electrical equipment, such as motors, lamps, televisions, computers, etc. At the same time, industrial frequency power is also commonly used in industrial frequency induction heating and industrial frequency induction melting furnaces (industrial frequency induction melting furnace is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to heat metal materials to a molten state. It usually consists of a furnace body, an induction coil, a power supply, a control system, etc. When working, the induction coil of the industrial frequency induction melting furnace is passed through an industrial frequency current to generate an alternating magnetic field. Under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the metal material will generate an induced current, thereby generating Joule heat, causing the metal material to heat up and melt rapidly).
[0003] Conventional power frequency power supply such as Figure 1 As shown: the power supply enters the air switch through U, V, W, and enters the primary side of the autotransformer from the air switch. The secondary side of the autotransformer has several voltage levels from high to low. The secondary voltage is connected to the high, medium and low levels through the variable voltage regulator to convert the source voltage into several ( Figure 1 The furnace temperature is controlled according to the temperature control meter signal, and the high voltage and low voltage contactors are switched to adjust the voltage to achieve the effect of adjusting the power.
[0004] However, during the adjustment process, the high voltage and low voltage switching has a greater impact on the power grid and is poor in energy saving. Due to the high switching frequency during use, it will cause a lot of waste over time. For customers with higher product requirements, high and low voltage switching can easily cause large temperature fluctuations, segregation of components in the furnace, and affect product quality. Based on the above problems, we provide a new type of industrial frequency power supply for electric furnaces.
