5000KVA DC Electric Arc Furnace for High Carbon Ferrochrome Smelting
A 5000KVA direct current smelting furnace sized for ferrochrome plants in the 12000 to 18000 tonne per year band. One 350mm graphite electrode works against a conductive hearth anode, so the arc stays vertical and stable over a deep bath. It is the capacity step that most plants choose when moving from an AC unit to DC without rebuilding the whole workshop.
Why DC Arc Technology Changes the Economics
- Single electrode, roughly half the graphite bill. Graphite use stays near 9 kg per tonne of alloy, and only one column needs jointing, holding and regulation.
- Flicker reduction above 50 percent. The 6-pulse thyristor rectifier feeds smooth direct current, so the furnace runs on a 35kV feeder shared with rolling or crushing loads without a dedicated compensator.
- Electromagnetic stirring built into the arc. DC current drives a circulation loop in the melt, so chromium and carbon spread evenly across the bath and the tap analysis stays tight.
- Quiet, wall friendly operation. Arc noise stays at or below 82 dB(A) and there is no rotating hot spot on the sidewall, so lining life runs longer than on an AC shell of the same diameter.
- Fast payback on a small footprint. Short busbar run, compact transformer bay and one water-cooled cable set keep civil works and installation labour low.
Scope of Supply
- Furnace shell with water-cooled panels, magnesia ramming hearth and conductive anode block
- Single graphite electrode, 350 mm, water-cooled holder with hydraulic lift
- Rectifier transformer, 6-pulse thyristor rectifier, DC busbar and water-cooled cable
- Hydraulic tilting drive with angle and pressure interlocks
- PLC automatic arc control with impedance regulation and alarm package
- Cooling water station, off-gas hood and dust collection interface
