STUDY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC AND ELECTROTHERMAL PROCESSES IN THE FIELD OF END-FACE BUS PACKAGES OF GRAPHITIZATION FURNACES
The paper considers mathematical models of electromagnetic and temperature fi elds in the area of end-face bus packages of alternating current graphitization furnaces. It identifi es active, reactive and complete electrical impedances of end-face buses, current leads and side bus packages, investigates distribution of currents and electric losses in parallel end-face buses and current leads. It offers a method for selection of effective cross-section of end-face buses based on the criteria of equal load, which ensures reduction of weight and electric losses in the end-face electric buses.
