Abstract
- This paper deals with the utilization of printed circuit board Rogowski coils (PCBRCs) for differential protection of electric arc furnace (EAF) transformers in Mobarakeh Steel Company (MSC), Isfahan, Iran. Because of a high level of current (in the range of 100 kA) in the EAF transformers in the MSC, employment of differential protection is quite challenging. Conventional current transformers (CTs) cannot offer reliable performance for very high current levels. The PCBRCs are a branch of Rogowski coils (RCs) that can be manufactured with high precision using computer‐aided design approaches and have the capability for the measurement of very large currents. In this study, we have designed and manufactured two sets of PCBRCs to measure current in the primary and secondary sides of the EAF's transformers in the MSC. The PCBRCs are followed by a signal condition circuit (SCC) which includes a low‐pass filter, amplifier, and voltage‐to‐current (V‐to‐I) converter block. Thanks to the SCC, the high current of the transformers can be properly sensed and transmitted over a long cable that connects the PCBRCs to the relay. Furthermore, a novel model is suggested for the EAF that includes characteristics of both time and frequency domain models. The suggested model is developed using a large number of recorded data from the MSC and can model the non‐linear and time‐variant behaviours of the EAF. The proposed PCBRCs, SCC, and EAF modelling are evaluated by some simulations and experiments in the MSC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
