IEC 60676:2024 pdf download,Industrial electroheating equipment – Test methods for direct arc furnaces.
IEC 60676:2024 specifies the basic test procedures,conditions and methods for establishing the main performance parameters and the main operational characteristics of furnaces for directarc heating,forming arcs between the electrode and metal,such as electric arc furnaces usingalternating current(EAF AC)or direct current(EAF DC),and ladle furnaces (LF),with ratedpower level above 500 kVA.
Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements ofequipment for direct electrical arc furnaces are outside the scope of this document and arecovered by IEC 60519-1,IEC 60519-4 and ISO 13578.
IEC 60676:2024 is applicable for the commissioning,verification of design improvements or forenergy related tasks with respect to energy use or energy efficiency,establishing of an energybaseline,and labelling.Some concepts from this document can directly be used as keyperformance indicators.
