The invention relates to an energy supply device of a melting tank. According to the invention, between an electrode plane of the melting tank and a converter for the current supply of the electrode plane, a separatable plug connection is provided in the supply line, between the electrode plane and the converter. Thereby in case of a defect of the converter, the supply line can be cut off simply and rapidly, and the converter either tended to or replaced. In an especially advantageous form of execution the energy supply device has a reserve converter so that, on failing of the converter, by unplugging the plug connection and replugging it so as to set up a plug connection to the reserve converter, the energy feed to the electrode plane can be restored within the shortest possible time.
Energy supply device of a melting tank with an electrode plane in the melting tank, a converter for the voltage supply of the electrode plane, and a separatable plug connection (2, 3) of the supply line (4) between the electrode plane and the converter.
Energy supply device of a melting tank according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the separatable plug connection comprises a plug (3) and a plug socket (2).
Energy supply device of a melting tank according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by a plurality of electrode planes and a corresponding number of converters.
