Summary:For sustainability purposes this project is studying the recycling of copper scrap. It is intended to melt a copper in oxygen free environment to achieve a highly conducting copper suitable for electrical installation and bus-bars manufacturing. Such a project must be started by a design and simulation step. Since the furnace composed of two main parts, the power supply and the induction coil, the power supply is a current fed inverter (CFI) simulated using Matlab, and the induction coil simulated by Finite Element Method (FEM) using ANSYS computer package. The induction coil design of this project is a special task due to the limitation of the maximum output voltage of the available power supply. The results approve the visibility of the system to be implemented in near future.
