OA-3300 electrolyzer has been calculated at different current conditions for determination of maximal possible current value that can be reached without variation of electrolyzer’s construction. Calculations of electric and thermal fields have been conducted in ANSYS calculating system. Magnetic-hydrodynamic parameters have been calculated as well. Based on these calculations, several conclusions have been made, i.e. about possibility of current elevation at OA-300 electrolyzers up to 335 kA.
