Abstract

See full text

An arc furnace, a control and/or regulating device for an arc furnace, and a method for operating an arc furnace are provided, wherein an arc for melting metal is generated by at least one electrode, wherein an arc associated with the electrode(s) has a first radiation power based on preselected operating parameters, wherein the arc furnace is operated according to a predefined operating program based on an expected process sequence, wherein monitoring is performed to detect whether an undesirable deviation exists between the actual process sequence and the expected process sequence. Because a modified second radiation power is specified if a deviation is present, and a modified second set of operating parameters, e.g., impedance value(s), is determined based on the modified second radiation power, a method is provided that permits a minimal melting time while minimizing consumption of operating resources, e.g., with respect to arc furnace cooling.
