ABSTRACT:
An electric arc furnace for DC operation has an electric connection for a melt in the furnace's hearth, in the form of an elongated metal connector having a refractory enclosure exposing an inner end of the connector for contact with and incidental melting by the melt, with means for cooling the connector between its inner and outer ends and removing heat at a rate preventing the connector from melting throughout its length to its outer end. The connector has a cross-sectional area large enough to carry the current required for forming a heating arc between an electrode and the surface of the melt, and the connector has similar composition as the melt as exemplified by a steel connector for a steel melt.
