Smart Predictive Line Controller (SPLC)

Smart Predictive Line Controller (SPLC)

The SPLC stabilizes the arc of an electric furnace by dynamically controlling a series reactor installed between the Utility and the Electric Furnace. The controlled reactor acts as a dynamic spring to stabilize the arc.

The SPLC technology take advantage of the rapid switching speed of thyristors and advanced predictive computer controls. The equipment consists of a three-phase, high voltage thyristor switch which is operated in parallel with a series reactor.

Who Benefits

• Furnace Operator: through meeting the utility permissible flicker levels and though furnace productivity upgrades
• Utility: through maintenance of higher power quality in its deliveries to other industrial and residential customers
• Customers/Citizens: through lower levels of light flicker and minimum disruptions in voltage fluctuation for sensitive automated process control equipment.
