Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a device and method for reducing network feedback during operation of an electric-arc furnace (10). The electric-arc furnace (10) has three lines (7) with one electrode (4) each. A sensor (15) for measuring the currently flowing current and a sensor (16) for measuring the currently applied voltage are provided in each line. A control and regulating unit (30) calculates an electrical actual value (Eist1, Eist2, Eist3). A semiconductor tap changer (20) is assigned to the furnace transformer (6) such that, by suitably selecting three target winding taps (TSOLL1, TSOLL2, TSOLL3) of a primary side (P) of the furnace transformer (6), a target current (IS1, IS2, IS3) is adjustable in each line (7).
