N2 - This paper focuses on analyzing power quality issues resulting from electric arc furnace operation. It highlights the challenges posed by the stochastic nature of the arc and proposes strategies to mitigate its impact on the power grid. Through measurements carried out on the medium and low voltage side of the furnace, fluctuations in parameters such as voltage, current, and power factor were observed, indicating significant disturbances in power quality. Mitigation strategies, including e.g. installing compensators, are suggested to stabilize the network and improve power quality, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption and electrode usage.
