Rectifiers for electrolysis, electrotechnology and electrothermics
Main specific features
Functions of rectifiers:
•power supply of electrolysis units for electrowinning of non-ferrous metals from melts (aluminum, magnesium) and solutions (zinc, copper, nickel, sodium, cadmium, lead, manganese, water etc.);
•power supply of electrolysis units for gas production (chlorine, fluorine);
•power supply of electro-graphitization furnaces;
•similar loads with necessity of high operating currents.
Main components of rectifier unit:
•transformer part;
•converter part;
•heat exchanger;
•DC disconnectors;
•current meters;
•auxiliaries auto-reclose cabinet;
•remote control panel for one or several rectifiers.
Rectifier circuit:
•bridge (B);
•«Y — reverse Y with paralleling reactor» (N). Control of output current under load — OLTC, thyristor control angle
high power characteristics
high measuring accuracy of heavy current
high installation and commissioning readiness
Centralized control and diagnostics
Benefits:
•high power characteristics (efficiency, cos φ) in combination with the possibility of smooth-step current control;
•high accuracy of heavy currents measurement up to 0,1%;
•centralized control and diagnostics using modern microprocessor systems and industrial computers, automatic generation of reporting documents and protocols;
•process control optimization;
•high installation and commissioning readiness;
•minimal impact on supply network when running several rectifiers due to the use of multi-pulse rectifying circuits and phase-rotation devices and compensation winding built into power transformer.
