The invention discloses a capacity adding craft method of the closed calcium carbide furnace, including a furnace body and the furnace lid of the top furnace, the furnace bottom installs the released mouth, the lid installs the electrode, feeding mouth, the electrode connects to the electric furnace transformer with the soft water cables, short network, the top of feeding mouth connects to a ring feeding machine, the capacity adding method of the closed calcium carbide furnace is: increasing the current rating of the first current and the secondary current, the capacity of electric transformers increased to each not less than 10,000 KVA; the height of lid increased to 1,300 to 1,500 MM. the low pressure outline port of the secondary short net in the short net changed to the intercross outline port. Reduced the distance between the electric furnace transformer and the wall of the electric furnace workshop and shortened the length of short network copper pipe. The invention increased the load, production and extended the use life of the furnace transformer; after the lid being heightened, it plays a stabilizing furnace pressure and extends life expectancy effect.
