is the overall term for the difference in performance between the performance provided via the cable from the transformer to the furnace and the performance actually induced in the melt. The main types of loss performance are listed below: Switch system losses, condenser losses, performance and cable losses, coil loss- es, thermal furnace losses and cover losses.
These overall losses can total up to 40% of the nominal system output. Depending on the method of operation of a furnace system, these losses can be reduced to approx. 32%.
