How fit is your furnace?

We can evaluate the high current impedance of your furnace with our “triple two-phase dip-test” procedure, which checks the symmetry energy distribution and thereby improves and optimizes the power input.

To ensure your furnace is operating under optimal conditions, our engineers will determine the state of the transformers, cables, switch gears, etc., by measuring the relevant voltages and currents in the electric furnace system using state-of-the-art measuring equipment.

We can also perform application-specific measurements in order to highlight faults and determine parameters, e.g., virtual start point, 3-dimensional magnetic field logger, fieldbus analyser, thermal imaging, etc.

We use our mobile measurement equipment to observe a heat regarding the secondary phase currents and voltages in order to predict and estimate the behaviour of the electrode control system.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
