Breadcrumb Home Systems Power Stability Flexibility Direct Feed Direct Feed Power supply system for arc furnaces, directly connected to the grid Direct Feed - Fact Sheet Mmc - Fact Sheet Overview Building on decades of expertise in the Metals industry, Electrification has developed an advanced solution to allow steel producers to help optimize their OPEX, while delivering ultimate grid power quality.Our power supply solution is suitable for AC or DC Electrical Arc Furnaces (EAF). It is directly connected to the grid and allows to precisely manage the furnace electrode current. The digital control system enables a qualitative monitoring of the electrical arc and prevent disturbances.With our Direct Feed converter system, we offer an integrated solution including: Multi-level converter system EAF transformer EAF control & regulation systemsWe can also provide the full high voltage grid connection and distribution system, including HV/ MV grid step-down transformer and GIS/AIS.Electrification’s Direct Feed system is based on proven press-pack IEGT technology offering high availability thanks to redundancy. BenefitsProcess performance• Reduced electrical power consumption –stable operation• Improved power-on time• Significant reduction of electrodes consumptionLife cycle/Reduced maintenance• Limited usage of transformer tap changer• No reactor tap changer• Circuit breakers only switched at no-loadGrid performance• AF reactive power and harmonic current not propagated to the grid• Improved EAF flicker• Enhanced harmonic performance Technology MM7 Modular Multilevel Drives View Product Stories GE Vernova and SMS group to support energy transformation at SSAB’s Oxelösund steel plant in Sweden View Article Electrification is helping steel producers meet both the challenge of decarbonization and grid stability View Article Cooperation Agreement with Tenova for tailored medium voltage power feeding solutions for large EAFs View Article 2 / 3
