Thyristor Controlled Rectifier
At
low input voltage the furnaces can deliver power efficiently Power
adjustments can be done over a very large range (5%-100%) Line voltage
fluctuations cause no damage Power is curbed during any failure or short
circuit crippling the system, thus preventing major technical problems
and expenses. Safety Margins in Power Semi-Conductors
FERmelt works on parallel circuit design. Even at the highest power level the thyristors chosen work approximately at one third of the current. In other words the safety margins on the thyristor are very high. Consequently, low heat losses and lower operating temperatures extend the service life of thyristors.
Reduced Melting Cost with Constant Power
We design and program FERmelt Furnaces to deliver maximum power from the beginning to reduce melting time and achieve lower energy consumption.
Higher Electrical Efficiency
FERmelt Furnaces are designed to minimize electrical losses. Electrical Efficiency is 97% (Over all)
High Power Factor
The reactive energy used on FERmelt Furnaces is very low and the average power factor is better than 0.95, thus eliminating the need for additional precautions to improve power factor.
Safety and Protection System
The Advanced Parallel Inverter Circuit design is a result of years of experience that has enabled us to present one of the safest induction furnaces.
