NLMK reports that NSMMZ, its Urals based Long Steel Division steelmaking facility has successfully re-launched the second 1.1 million tonnes per year Electric Arc Furnace at its Revda steelmaking facility, following repairs to a transformer at the plant since mid 2011.

The equipment has passed all required high voltage tests.

Repairs, worth a total of RUR22 million, were undertaken by a local engineering company.

Currently both NSMMZ’s EAFs are running as planned under the Company production program.
