Abstract :
An electric furnace is a load with a definite impact on the power system. Some of the impacts include harmonics, voltage flicker, and increased power system losses. The objective of this study was to develop a model for analysis of the electrical characteristics and electrical parameters affecting the behavior of an are furnace load. The model developed is based on steady state analysis, but through further model refinement dynamic analysis may be studied.
