Finite Network Method (FNM)

The Finite Network Method (FNM) uses advanced algorithms and mathematical modeling to get precise information of the electrical properties of the EAF High Current system (transformer secondary terminals to electrode tips, can be simulated in detail).

For the first time ever, it is possible to do accurate calculations with a precision of much less than 1%. All other methods have error ranges of >10%.

With FNM it is possible to calculate the effects of smaller modifications in the range of <0.5 m, e.g. cable connection points, size of PCD, required high current loop size for symmetrization.

Using the FNM model, you will guarantee never to experience hot spots in the furnace due to unsymmetrical high current system,  cable twisting in the center phase, or induced eddy currents in secondary side tank.
