Abstract

A flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) is a proposed new technique for balancing unbalanced three phase arc furnace loads. Although reactances of conductors can be balanced by traditional methods, the method proposed here is a unique method for balancing inevitably unbalanced arc resistances. Compensator controller elements and relations between their variables and the actual firing angles are derived. The influence of furnace load balancing on its characteristics is discussed. The inherent improvement of input power factor to unity is highlighted.
