Abstract

At least one arc furnace and at least one induction furnace are connected to the same AC network, the induction furnace being connected via a controllable alternating voltage converter so as to permit compensation of active power fluctuations in the network caused by operation of the arc furnace and the induction furnace being designed to contain scrap for its inductive preheating before charging in the arc furnace.
