The invention relates to an 
electrode shell of a large submerged arc furnace. The 
electrode shell comprises cylindrical sections which are sequentially connected, wherein each cylindrical section comprises a cylindrical shell; a plurality of fins which are arranged at equal intervals are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the inner side of the shell, each fin is formed by superposing and fixing two 
steel plates, a plurality of circular holes the diameters of which are 20mm are arranged between the two 
steel plates, a 
branch is arranged at the upper end of each of the two 
steel plates, and the 
branch is connected with the lower end of the fin of the cylindrical section at the upper end of the cylindrical section on which the 
branch is positioned; and fixing rings are respectively fixed inside the upper end and lower end of the shell, and a connecting ring is fixed outside the fixing ring between two adjacent cylindrical sections. In the 
electrode shell of the large submerged arc furnace provided by the invention, because the upper electrode fins and the lower electrode fins can be connected mutually, the splicing verticality is good. In the electrode shell of the large submerged arc furnace provided by the invention, the 
internal connection strength, the contact area and the conductive effect which are between the electrode shell and an electrode paste are increased through the plurality of circular holes between the two steel plates of each fin, thus the quantity and width of the fins can be reduced, the consumption of 
ferrous materials can be reduced, and the 
pollution on products caused by impurities is lowered in the using process.
