That's a lot of power to be dealing with for the first time, Jhon! How did you end up with this assignment if you have not worked with such systems in the past? What kind of systems have you worked with so far? What regulatory permits and inspections are required for this industrial system? What do you need to do with your company's insurance carrier to get the final system signed off?Jhon Paul said:I have to configure a power system for a furnace which demands very high current of the order of 50KAmps with low voltage of the order of 100 volts.
Can anyone help me to get insight into how to configure the power system in boarder way.
I am planning to use a transformer with thyristors .
My advice is to contact an engineering firm with the requisite experience. Your application is outside of mine, but a lot of detail work goes into building a successful 5 MVA power controller.Jhon Paul said:I have to configure a power system for a furnace which demands very high current of the order of 50KAmps with low voltage of the order of 100 volts.

That is an enormous amount of electricity. Designing and working on such systems requires licensed electricians and electrical engineers. Please find qualified people to do this work for you. Thread locked.Jhon Paul said:Well presently I am using a power supply with 3KAmps under 30 volts. So though I don't claim I have the expertise on power system but yes I am familiar with the stuff. Next I am just looking on the architecture not to build the power system. Thats why I just mentioned if anyone have knowledge of bigger power unit can reply. back.
High current is typically defined as anything above 1 ampere (A), while low voltage is usually considered to be anything below 50 volts (V).
High current low voltage is commonly used in electronics, such as in power supplies for computers and other devices. It is also used in welding, battery charging, and electric vehicles.
The main risk associated with high current low voltage is electrical shock, which can be deadly. It is important to handle these currents with caution and use proper safety measures when working with them.
This can be achieved using a transformer, which can step up or step down the voltage depending on the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils. This allows for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances.
It depends on the application. High current low voltage is generally more efficient for short distance transmission, while low current high voltage is more efficient for long distance transmission. However, both have their advantages and disadvantages and the most efficient option will vary depending on the specific situation.
