Recent advancements in electromagnetic modeling for submerged arc furnaces have facilitated a deeper understanding of current distributions, vital for optimizing silicon production processes. This study focuses on the electric current distributions within an industrial smelting furnace, employing a 3D model in ANSYS Maxwell utilizing the AC, eddy current solver based on three-phase AC operation. The model incorporates critical elements such as electrodes, main arcs, craters, crater walls, and the side arcs connecting electrodes and crater walls. By varying the number of side arcs, the research investigates their impact on current distributions across various furnace sections, considering skin and proximity effects on electrodes. Additionally, the study examines the system's resistance and explores both active and reactive power distributions. The findings signify the importance of side arcs in influencing current flow, providing insights pertinent for enhancing furnace design and operational efficacy.
