II. INTRODUCTION
There are many Wavelet analysis, that deals with the power
quality problems [7-9]. Therefore, the authors usually treat
the events with only one kind of disturbance, contained in a
certain theoretical signal. This paper presents a new technique
to the detection, classification, and correction of signals with
multiple disturbances, typical in the operation of electric arc
furnaces. This new method can be used in industrial power
systems, with many disturbance as impulse transient, RMS
variation, capacitor switching, that can happen at the same
time.
III. INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDER
ANALYSIS AND THE ARC FURNACE MODEL
The Fig. 1 shows the electric diagram of three arc furnaces
from a metallurgic plant located in Brazil. The system is made
up by two furnaces: EAF1 and EAF2, used for the fusion
process and a laddle furnace: LAF for the steel smelter phase.
EAF1 will be used in order to analyze the best point of
operation and the effects over the power quality, from where
the signals were measured in the Electric Signal Analyser.
Good operation of electric furnances not involves the
production of a high-quality steel but also the manipulation of
the furnance controls in a manner to obtain maximum
continuous production, with high power quality and minimum
power cost.

The Fig. 2 shows the arc furnace model for the EAF1 [23]-[11]. The EAF1 is supplied by transformer T047, with 4
taps, where the tap of 580 V (UA) was used for this analysis.
The total equivalent impedance (ZEQ = R + j X), represents
the EAF1 circuit from the supply circuit of 138 kV to the
furnace electrode. In Fig. 2, we have R = 0.0033082 m and
X = 6.4583737 m.
