Abstract
A secondary circuit having a variable impedance for electric arc furnaces of a type working with alternating current, which is associated with a transformer (11) is disclosed. A secondary circuit comprises at least one rigid connection (12) connected to the outputs (16) of the transformer (11), flexible cables (13) connected through rigid connection elements (29, 129) at first end to the rigid connection (12) and at the other end to specific electrodes (15). At least one branch of the secondary circuit (10) corresponds to a specific phase including at least one of the respective rigid components (12, 17, 29, 129) having at least two parts reciprocally positionable in an adjustable manner according to the required value of overall reactance of the specific branch of the secondary circuit (10) comprising that rigid component (12, 17, 29, 129).
