What always amazes me is the power leads moving around due to the massive current going through them. But why?

I remember my cousin taking me on a personal tour of a a Nucor steel mill. I got to see the entire complex, melt shop, rolling mill, matinence area. It was one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do, the video really does not do it any justice. You don’t feel the radiant heat coming off of the graphite electrodes, you don’t feel the ground shaking in the control room. Seeing those red hot billets being rolled into rebar is also incredibly amazing. The billets enter the rollers quite slowly, but rebar exits at close to a hundred miles per hour, and is getting chopped up incredibly fast. For 18 year old me, that was one of my most formative memories.

Not steel boiling, I think. What you see boiling in the surface is the slag, a bunch of minerals and residues with boiling points a lot lower.

I don't get how it works. is that a giant wire slowly going down to arc and melt the metal?
@sentinel76

It's a 'giant' graphite electrode, one of three (the other two are out of sight) and yes, it is descending to the point where the gap between the tips of the electrodes and the steel is small enough that the voltage applied to the electrodes can cause electricity to bridge the gap, igniting the arc. These electrodes were only 550mm in diameter (about 21.5 inches) - the largest electrodes are 750mm/30 inches in diameter.

I am in the commercial water heating business and a business owner wanted to know why his electric elements were burning out after a week and a half. I told him not to run them continuously 24/7 and get the right heater for the job he wants it to do. Then I told him that an electric arc furnace that melts steel doesn’t even run continuously 24/7 and he looked at me funny. I told him to look up Electric Arc Furnaces on KZitem. I haven’t heard back from him.😂

Great memories. About 40 years ago I was a technican at a steelworks. One day I had to go under the festoon cables of a 56MW furnace. I was wearing a Seiko quartz watch. The magnetic field sped my watch up. The second hand was a blur like added 30min in a few seconds! RIP Brymbo Steelworks, Wrexham, North Wales UK😊.
