<p>The invention relates to a method for detecting a performance drop in components that are impinged upon with electric current or which can be brought into contact therewith in arc furnaces, whereby an electric arc is initially produced from an electrode during the operation of said furnaces. According to the invention, the blaze of the arc furnace is detected close to the furnace and the measuring data relating to the blaze is fed from the point of measurement to a measuring and regulating device that is disposed in a protected location where it is processed. Control signals are sent to an actuator if deviations occur from a predefinable value, whereby the actuator influences the operating mode of the arc furnace and, more particularly, interrupts the power supply. The invention also relates to a device for detecting the consumption and/or breakage of components that can be impinged upon by electric current or brought into contact therewith in arc furnaces that possess a furnace vessel that can be closed by means of a lid. According to the invention, measuring elements (41) for the detection of UV or infra-red light are provided. Said measuring elements (41) are connected to a measuring and regulating device (43) via measuring lines (42). The measuring and regulating device (43) is connected to the actuator (45) via control lines (44), whereby said actuator acts upon the operating mode of the arc furnace.</p> |
