The invention discloses an LF furnace
voltage and current gear parameter determination method capable of reducing
power consumption. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, determining a selection range of arc current; 2, acquiring circuit resistance r and
arc resistance Rarc, and calculating to obtain operation
reactance Xop; 3, calculating to obtain an operation resistance Rop and an operation impedance Zop; 4, working current I, active power P, reactive power Q, apparent power S, arc power Parc,
electric efficiency eta and temperature rise speed v are obtained through calculation; and fifthly, an electrical characteristic curve is drawn through matalab
software, the most economical current and the current with the fastest temperature rising speed are selected, and therefore the
power consumption of the LF furnace can be effectively reduced in actual production. The
database technology is utilized, the economic current and the current with the fastest heating speed under each
voltage gear are obtained, the reasonable power supply
system can not only improve the production efficiency, but also reduce the
energy consumption and save the energy, and the method has important significance for saving the refining cost, shortening the
smelting time, saving energy and reducing emission.
