The authors of this paper using the thermo-electric field simulation software secondary development based on ANSYS studied the difference of horizontal current, cathode voltage drop, steel bar maximum current density when adopting different techniques, such as slotted steel bar, partial insulation steel bar, and low resistivity steel bar technologies. The results showed that the partial insulation steel bar technology to reduce the horizontal current of liquid aluminum pad is most obvious, and current distribution uniformity is also the best. The effect of reducing horizontal current is limited when adopting slotted steel bar technology. The using of low resistivity bar is more conducive to reducing the cathode voltage drop.
