The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for dynamically regulating an
electric arc furnace (1) that is electrically connected to a power supply
system and that has at least one
system phase that is used to apply to a furnace
electrode an electrical AC
voltage having an amplitude and a frequency and to supply an arc current, which is required for melting, having an amplitude and a frequency, wherein a control
loop device (3) that has an electrical converter (5) is designed for
negative feedback of the amplitude and / or the frequency of the AC
voltage to produce the amplitude and / or the frequency of the arc current, the converter (5) is a two-port network (11) having an input port (7) and an output port (9), wherein the input port has a
system power supply connected to it and the output port has a
melting furnace power supply connected to it, the output port (9) has a primary circuit of a first
transformer (13) electrically connected to it, in whose
secondary circuit the furnace
electrode of the
electric arc furnace (1) is electrically connected. The invention is distinguished in that a primary coil of a second
transformer (15) is electrically connected in parallel with the input port (7) of the converter (5), and a secondary coil of the first
transformer (13) is electrically connected in series with a secondary coil of the second transformer (15).
