thats a big fucking transformer id love to stand in there and throw spanners at it when its running! imagine how funny that would be! 21 tons of oil lol how much is a oil change?
That TX room is locked off during opetation, The magnetic fields are enormous and any loose ferromagnetic material will be flying around in that room, if near the busbars.
Jesus, 45 thousand Amps..That's ALOT of current..like vaporize you instantly type current.
Woweee...yay metallurgy!

Electrode cooling is on a separate supply to the transformer since it is a total loss system. This is the Tamini transformer is it not ?

It is the Tamini TX, correct.

Arc furnaces are the biggest consumer of electricity anywhere. Period.

Btw, what are the pipes, coolant?
DJGahann 2 years ago
Water is used for cooling which flows through the hollow pipes.
On the EAF clip you can see the water flowinhg out onto the carbon electrodes.

Those are some unbelievable current ratings :-/
