Variations in the Constant Component of the Phase Voltage in Ore-Smelting Furnaces for the Production of Phosphorus and Calcium Carbide

Phosphorus and carbide furnaces are considered as an example to study the character of changes in and the nature of constant component U-cc in the phase voltage of an ore-smelting furnace with a closed furnace top. The value and polarity of U-cc depend on the relation between the chemical interaction of an electrode with the reaction-zone components and the degree of development and the conditions of an electric arc.
