Thyrobox M power supply for polysilicon sector

With advanced process-monitoring capabilities, a 0.95 power factor and more than 99 per cent energy efficiency, the Thyrobox M delivers what AEG describes as unprecedented performance, reliability and stability to polysilicon manufacturers worldwide.

Engineered with a modular design, the Thyrobox M is the world's most compact polysilicon power supply.

Depending on the type of reactor, its footprint is about 25 per cent smaller than older Thyrobox solutions and up to 70 per cent smaller than competing products.

The compact design reduces installation, commissioning and maintenance costs for the entire energy supply as well as building costs.

Additional Thyrobox M features include warning system and troubleshooting, which minimise the risk of process interruptions in case of silicon rod cracks or melts; integrated medium-voltage ignition, which enhances process stability; ongoing data collection and analysis through monitoring of energy consumption and silicon-rod weight; and increased energy efficiency.
