An anode is proposed for a direct-current arc furnace, in the case of which at least one part of the region of the furnace holding the melt is provided on the inside with an electrically conductive refractory brick lining which is electrically connected to a current conductor which is located on the outside, and in the case of which a cathode is arranged in the vertical direction above the melt. The electrically conductive brick lining (3, 4; 9) and/or the current conductor (1, 8) have changing values with respect to their electrical properties in the circumferential direction, with respect to the vertical axis of the cathode (2; 11), in such a manner that a deliberately asymmetric current distribution occurs on the base of the furnace. <IMAGE> |
