High Level Integration of Power Electronic Controls & Smart Algorithms to Upgrade DC Furnace Rectifiers

DC Electric Arc Furnaces have a higher complexity when compared to AC EAFs. The power rectifier and other electronic equipment requires more maintenance and specialized skills from your personnel. The new DigiFCR® X4 control platform is used to fully retrofit the Power Converter of a DC EAF, solving the obsolescence problems while eliminating downtime and high maintenance costs caused by outdated equipment. Incorporating smart products on Firing Circuit Replacements it also expands the capability to monitor key performance indicators towards Industry 4.0. DigiFCR® X4 native technology works with DigitARC® PX3 electrode regulator to stabilize the arc and work more efficiently. Furthermore it integrates intelligence tools to get the most of your existing hardware by using real-time data to analyze, learn and predict the power converter performance, properly aligning your technology on the road to digitalization.
