Method for operating an arc oven and melting assembly with an arc oven operated according to this method

摘要

The method comprises detecting a movement of an electrode (6) using a movement sensor and generating a signal corresponding to the movement of the electrode for controlling a process variable of an electric arc furnace. The movement sensor is arranged on a support arm of the electrode. The movement of electrode is carried out by flowing current or applying a voltage signal for a predetermined time of interval. An independent claim is included for a melting system.
