Installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing - Test methods for electroslag remelting furnaces (IEC 60779:2020)

This International Standard specifies the test procedures, conditions and methods for
determining the main performance parameters and operational characteristics of electroslag
remelting furnaces.
Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements of the
installations are outside the scope of this document and are covered by IEC 60519-1 and
IEC 60519-8.
This document applies to industrial electroslag remelting furnaces, the rated capacity of which
is equal to, or greater than, 50 kg.
This document is applicable to industrial electroslag remelting furnaces having one or more
electrodes and having different melting power supplies, such as alternating current, direct
current, or low-frequency current.
This document includes the concept and material on energy efficiency dealing with the electrical
and processing parts of the installations, as well as the overall performance.

INSTALLATIONS FOR ELECTROHEATING
AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSING –
TEST METHODS FOR ELECTROSLAG REMELTING FURNACES

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60779 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 27: Industrial
electroheating and electromagnetic processing.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– the structure has been redrafted according to IEC 60398:2015;
– the scope and object have been redrafted;
– the terms/definitions, normative references and bibliography have been updated and
completed;
– all test methods and content from IEC 60779:2005 that have been included in
IEC 60398:2015 have been removed to avoid any duplication.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
27/1128/FDIS 27/1130/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60398:2015. It supplements or modifies the
corresponding clauses of IEC 60398:2015. Where the text indicates a “modification” of,
"addition" to or a "replacement" of the relevant provision of IEC 60398:2015, these changes are
made to the relevant text of IEC 60398:2015. Where no change is necessary, the words "This
clause of IEC 60398:2015 is applicable" are used. When a particular subclause of
IEC 60398:2015 is not mentioned in this standard, that subclause applies as far as is
reasonable. When a particular subclause of IEC 60398:2015 is not applicable, the word “Void”
is used.
Additional specific provisions to those in IEC 60398:2015, given as individual clauses or
subclauses, are numbered starting from 101.
NOTE The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in IEC 60398:2015;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in IEC 60398:2015, they are numbered starting from 101,
including those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
