Abstract :
THE power input to arc furnaces has always been controlled by automatic adjustment of electrode position. Figure 1a shows a typical installation of an arc furnace which employs hydraulic electrode positioning. In this type of furnace air up-push is used to counterbalance the weight of the electrode arm. Hydraulic means, controlled by a small motor, is employed to lower or raise the arm.
