Over the years, new processes and new equipment have been introduced in modern
steelworks, which aim at reducing operating costs and improving efficiency of Electric
Arc Furnaces. Some of these are
The Company
In 1989 as we sparked-off, we banked upon our troupe of Electro Thermal
Processing experts and the capital of experience that we had gathered since
the 70s. We made our presence felt across Steel, Foundry, Forging and
various other Metal Working Sectors. Driven by strong commitment towards
customer services, product performance and continuous in-house Research
and Development, the Company within in a short span of time has
contributed over 5000 MW in aggregate of Electro Heating Equipment.
Today, Megatherm is recognized and preferred by its ever-extending list of
domestic and international clientele. Our installation are spread over the
globe in countries, such as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico in Latin America; South
Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya in Africa; Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan,
Iran in Central Asia; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia in South Asia,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Yemen in Middle East Asia; Poland, France,
Germany in Europe to name a few.
Being certified as an ISO 9001:2000 Company, the name Megatherm today
is synonymous to quality.
Ultra High Power (UHP) Transformers, power levels of 700 to 1000 KVA / Ton.
High Impedance operation with higher secondary voltages and lower current, thus
resulting in stable arcing, longer arc length and lower electrode consumption.
Note: All of these developments may be applied to any one furnace, nor they are
necessarily complimentary to each other. It is for each steelmaker to establish which
development or combination of developments is of greatest benefit in their local
conditions.

The system is implemented in dedicated standard PLC. The set up, tuning or monitoring is
implemented in PC.
AC or DC
Drive
To achieve, Impedance Control, a proportion of the arc voltage and a proportion of arc
current flowing in the arc are compared thus giving measured impedance value. Measured
impedance value is compared with the set value determined based on:

Valve Control
The resultant gives the error impedance signal. The electrical error signal is amplified and is
fed to hydraulically operated proportional control valve to raise / lower the electrode arms
thus resulting in auto setting of electrode to operate at set impedance.
EBT Type
In an arc furnace energy can be supplied from a variety of sources as shown in the table
below. The energy distribution is highly dependent on local material and consumable costs
and is unique to the specific melt shop operation. A typical balance for Ultra High Power
Furnace and low or medium power is indicated here as under:

Ladle Refining is a post steel making technological operation, performed in the ladle prior
to casting with the purpose of desulphurization, degassing, temperature & chemical
homogenization, deoxidation etc.
The normal LRF cycle lasts 40 50 minutes depending upon the aim and final chemistry
and desired temperature rise.
