electric arc furnaces (eafs) are unbalanced, nonlinear and time varying loads, which can cause many problems in the power system quality. in steel industries, the two arc furnaces often perform in parallel and stand on a single bus, which surely deteriorate the power quality. in this paper, in order to study and analyze the harmful effects of parallel operation of eafs, first, a three phase arc...

The rapid increase of non-linear loads in the last three decades has caused electrical quantities such as voltages and currents in 3-phase distribution systems to become distorted waveforms. This paper reviews, explains and discusses some new concepts, definitions and new available theory in the unbalanced and distorted systems. The usefulness of the proposed practical definitions is investigat...

This paper reports the method and mechanism for improving the strength of marl and desert sand utilizing electric arc furnace dust (EAFD), an industrial by-product, in lieu of cement or lime. EAFD was used in conjunction with a small quantity (2%) of cement. The mechanical properties and durability characteristics of marl and sand mixed with 2% cement plus 5-, 10-, 20- or 30%-EAFD, by weight of...
