Several issues concerning the application of supplementary series reactors to an existing arc furnace system are discussed in this paper. The impact on the melt shop bus voltage distortion, static var compensator (SVC) capacity limitations, harmonic filter duties, voltage flicker, and overall system integrity is discussed. On-site field measurement data are presented throughout the paper to show the actual plant operation. Development of circuit models for system analysis studies is also discussed. The plant production goals and operating experiences with the installation of the supplementary series reactors are also discussed.
