Numerical study of electrical voltages between elements of induction furnaces with cold crucibles

The article is devoted to the study of the distribution of electrical voltages in induction melting in the cold crucible (IMCC) furnaces based on numerical simulation using a 3D electromagnetic (EM) model in A–V formulation. In particular, the distribution of electrical voltages between the elements of IMCC furnaces using electrical short circuits is being investigated. Based on the dependences obtained, recommendations are formulated for achieving the best electrical parameters that ensure increased reliability of IMCC furnaces.
