DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 60676 PDF

This document specifies the basic test procedures, conditions and methods for establishing the main performance parameters and the main operational characteristics of furnaces for direct arc heating, forming arcs between the electrode and metal such as the electric arc furnace using alternating current (EAF AC) or direct current (EAF DC), and ladle furnace (LF). Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements of equipment for direct electrical arc furnaces are outside the scope of this document and are covered by IEC 60519-1, IEC 60519-4 and ISO 13578. This document is applicable for the commissioning, verification of design improvements or for energy related tasks with respect to energy use or energy efficiency, establishing of an energy baseline, and labelling. Some concepts from this document can directly be used as key performance indicators.
