Capacitor Solutions for Iron & Steel Industry
Reliable Power Conditioning for Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
The iron and steel industry is highly energy-intensive and involves large, dynamic loads such as
electric arc furnaces (EAF), induction furnaces (IF), electromagnetic stirrers (EMS), and powerful inverter drives. These systems generate large current surges and voltage fluctuations that affect power quality and equipment life.
Capacitors—particularly
film capacitors—offer excellent
voltage handling, frequency stability, and low losses, making them essential components in industrial power conditioning.
Power Challenges in Iron & Steel Applications
