Abstract
The aim of the invention is the reduction of the impairment in current transfer from the contact plate (112), forming part of the electrode support arm (11), to the contact block (12), interacting with the electrode, caused by deposits between the contact plate (112) and the contact block (12) due to erosion during the fusion operation. Said aim is achieved, whereby the contact block (12) which may be brought into planar contact against a partial region of the electrode (21), is provided with a medial passage (124), running to the support arm (11), for removal of at least the large part of the erosion, said passage having a continuation (111) in the support arm (11).
Claims9
Contact jaw, which is to be assigned exchangeably to the contact plate at the free end of an electrode-carrying arm forming a component of an electrode furnace for the exchangeable electrode, which can be brought into abutment so as to make electrical contact with the electrode-carrying arm by means of a clip guided at the electrode-carrying arm, characterized in that the contact jaw, which can be brought into abutment two-dimensionally with a partial region of the electrode, is provided centrally with a passage, which extends to the carrying arm and is continued in the carrying arm.
