Liquid-cooled electrode for electric arc furnaces

摘要

A liquid-cooled electrode for electric arc furnaces having a cover secured to an electrode supporting arm and containing cooled metal elements and having a core which can be axially displaced in the cover, into which core the electrode current can be conducted by way of a current conection. The current connection is disposed above the cover, while the cover is electrically insulated from the core and the insulation includes an insulating layer between the cover and the core. In addition, a device for producing a magnetic field is provided in the lower portion of the cover.
