It is the diameter of the circle formed by the three electrodes. Popular abbreviation is PCD. In a round furnace three electrodes(Normally AC furnace) are centered at the peak of the equilateral triangle. When a circle is drawn from the center covering three apexes(of triangle), such circle is called the PCD of Electrodes.vipin@vaibhavfurnaces.com
To answer this question call a furnace person and ask him your question okay because nobody knows this. Stupid people! P.S. Why do you want to know this anyway?
Sensitive equipment like a furnace machine requires the services of a qualified electrician. Call one to have the copper pad in the electric arc furnace machine fixed.

Submerged Arc Furnace is also called smelting furnace. The furnace is called submerged Arc because Soderberg(Carbon) Electrodes are , buried inside the charge mix. Though Arcing is there but can not be seen. This Furnace is used for producing Ferro Alloys,Pig iron,Silicon metal, Calcium Carbide, Ferro Silicon,Ferro Chrome, Silico Manganese
Electrodes are Submerged in the Submerged Arc Furnace, into the raw materials. Reason, for allowing the electrodes to reside inside the charge mix, is the high resistance of the ores. Three purposes are served : 1. The heat coming out from arcing is utilized for preheating the ore at the upper strata. 2. Ore/Coke dust from reaction gases is entrapped in the charge mix, this increases the efficiency. 3. In case of power failure, the heat is retained in the molten alloy, meaning very low heat loss to the atmosphere.
Vaibhav Furnaces is the supplier.
Tapping in the furnace means " Taking out the liquid metal/ferro alloy" . It is a cyclic event.
Electrical arc is the discharge of charges in the air-gap between two electrodes. When the electrodes are excited the air between the electrodes get ionized and star conducting which causes cotinuous spark between them called arc.
A gantry mechanism in an electric arc furnace is a movable structure that supports and moves the electrode arms over the furnace. It is responsible for controlling the positioning of the electrodes during the melting process, allowing for precise control over the arc length and power input to the furnace. This mechanism enables efficient melting of metal scrap and ensures uniform heating of the materials in the furnace.

In BOF the steel making is done by blowing oxygen through a lance and in EAF it is done by producing an arc from the electrodes. A Con-arc furnace makes use of both the technologies i.e both the oxygen blowing and electrode arc method. The input for BOF is Hot metal whereas the input for EAF is scrap. but the input for Con-arc furnace is 50% Hot metal and 50% Scrap.

No. Double Submerged Arc Welded is DSAW; LSAW stands for Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded. As an aside, HSAW stands for Helically Submerged Arc Welded. All of these refer to various types of pipe manufacturing processes.
The primary use of carbon and graphite electrodes is in the manufacturing of steel through electric arc furnace (EAF) process. These electrodes are used to conduct electricity and generate the high temperatures needed to melt the raw materials for steel production. Additionally, they are also used in the production of aluminum, silicon, and other metals.
Submerged arc welding is called "submerged" because the high voltage electrical current (called the "arc") that heats the metal and wire to weld together is submerged underneath layers of granular earth materials called "flux". About 50% to 90% of this flux can be re-used and fed back into the system with the proper equipment.
