The invention relates to a multi-
electrode direct-
current electric arc furnace, a submerged arc furnace power supply device and a
smelting method, belongs to the technical field of industrial
smelting, and aims to solve the problem of working condition of abnormal
conductivity of furnace charge of the multi-
electrode direct-current furnace. The device is composed of a phase-shifting
transformer, a rectification module, a
direct current conversion module, an isolation switch and other components, and all the components are connected according to a specific rule, so that a top
electrode attribute conversion loop is formed in the device topology. By matching with the
smelting method,
cathode and
anode attribute transformation of the multi-electrode
direct current furnace top electrode can be realized, smelting can be performed through a top electrode loop under complex conditions of poor furnace charge
conductivity and the like, and a normal production process can be recovered after a
molten pool in the furnace appears and the furnace charge
conductivity is enhanced, so that the abnormal fault
processing time is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved. And the smelting efficiency of industrial smelting, especially in the fields of
iron alloys and special steel, is improved.
