IEC 60676 pdf download Industrial electroheating equipment — Test methods for direct arc furnaces
1 Scope and object
This International Standard applies to industrial three-phase direct arc furnaces，the ratedcapacity of which is equal to, or greater than,500 kg.The furnaces are suitable both for solidand liquid charges at or near internal atmospheric pressure.
This standard is also applicable to furnaces having one or more electrodes,other than three-phase furnaces, in so far as it applies.
These furnaces are intended for the melting of ferrous metals (for example,steel,cast iron)and non-ferrous metals (for example, copper); they may also be used as holding furnaces for aliquid charge to superheat and maintain the temperature before tapping.
The object of this publication is the standardization of arc furnace test conditions and ofmethods to determine the main parameters and technical operating characteristics.
NOTE 1 These tests are to be executed independently of the status of compensating equipment.
The scope of this standard does not cover all possible test methods which may be carried outfor the technical and economic assessment of arc furnaces.
NOTE 2 Complementary test conditions may be agreed between manufacturer and user.
Tests for some special equipment for d.c. direct arc furnaces such as controlled rectifiers arecovered by IEC 60146-1-1.
