Testing the power supply for my future electric arc furnace. Power is turned up about a third of the way in this video. The graphite electrodes are 3/8" in diameter and about 3" long.

  • That is an amazing good arc, good idea to lay the electrodes flat.

    They look like the carbon piles from an F-cell.

  • @RODALCO2007 Yea I think in this video they were from an F-cell

  • The temperature is between 1000-1200 C

    After several tests I noticed vary little deteriation, the most occured when I just kept arcing them together

    My meter was broken at the time however I estimate the voltage around14-16 and amps 120-135

    Hope this helps lemme know if you have any other questions

  • Hi, Great demonstration there. Can you tell me what the approximate temperature is generated by that and if the graphite rods ever melt or deteriorate. also how much power did you apply to get this affect.

    Thanks
