Simulation Results for Modeling the AC Electric Arc as Nonlinear Element using PSCAD EMTDC

摘要

The functional analysis of electric scheme including an AC electric arc involves the use of techniques of modeling the electric arc that should reflect as closely as possible the behavior of the real electric arc. This can be done by means of general programs for non-linear circuits, or programs that are specific for a more restricted domain. In this paper, the modeling of the functioning of the electrical installation of the electric arc furnace was done using the PSCAD-EMTDC simulation program.
