  • Abstract
    With the increased use of arc furnaces in the production of alloy steel, new interest has been aroused in both old and new methods of automatic regulation of electrode position. The regulator described in this paper is an electronic type which controls electrode position as determined by response to current in the electrode and voltage between the electrode and the furnace shell. Features and performance of an installation for a furnace having hydraulic control are illustrated.
