My invention relates to electric Till of the niovahle-elcctrode type and, larly, to eleclrio furnaces of relatively large capacity.
One object of my invention is to onvide an electric furnace of tho nioyable-electrode type that shall have a plurality of so electrodes so connected to a polyohase ply circuit as so prevent doc or:
from one set of electrodes through ti of material acing treated to an adjacent sci: of electrodes. 7
In modern electric-furnace 'pra capacity of the furnace is lliniiied by amount of currentwhich can l ted by the inovahlc electrodes carrying caoacii of the elcci l itcd by the so-called sl' n mic-cl, and currents induced in ad accinv n" are composed oi magnetic material. Moreover, the electrode contact trouhles dcrclop so apidly with increase inthe current as to limit the practical furnace capacifiy.
It has been proposed to operate 2* number of sets of elcctrodesin parallchcircuit rela tion but, in such case, tho electrodes would not evenly divide the local on the ilur In the above case, stabilizing re: is would be necessary and such rcactancc; objectionable.
In a furnace constructed in accordance with my invention, a plnral'y of sins oi halh of electrodes are associated n'ilh on; lllfitelhll contained Within onc he The SBiS oi @lGCLlOQQS connecl'ed i0 onc sup ply circuit in such manner as l flow of current "from one set of elcctrodcs to an adjacent set of elccirodcs. Each electrode of each sci; is operated in any Well known manner in accordance with rh current or the Watts supplied to the fun in accordance with any other electrical. acteristic of the furnace operation.

I claim as my invention 2- 1. In an electric furnace, the combination comprising a plurality of sets of electrodes, a three-phase supply circuit, and single transformer means for so connecting said sets of electrodes to the supply circuit as to prevent flow of current from one set of electrodes to an adjacent set of electrodes.
2. In an electric furnace, the combination comprising, a plurality of sets of electrodes, a polyphase supply circuit, and single transformer means for so connecting the sets of i electrodes to the supplycircuit as to prevent flow of current from one set of electrodes to an adjacent set of electrodes.
In an electric furnace, the combination" with a plurality of sets of electrodes, each of said sets comprising three electrodes, and a three-phase supply circuit, of single transformer means forconnccting said sets of 3 electrodes to the supply circuit, said means comprising three primary coils and each of coils.
. with a said sets of electrodes having a secondary coil associated with each of said primary 4. In an electric furnace, the combination plurality of sets of electrodes, and
a polyp ase supply circuit, of single trans- 1 saopoe former means for connecting said sets of electrodes to the supply circuit, said means comprising a plurality of primary coils and each of said sets of electrodes having a secondary coil associated with each of said primary coils.
5. In an electric furnace, the combination with a plurality of sets of electrodes, at single bath of material associated with said electrodes, and a polyphasc supply circuit for supplying energy to the sets of electrodes, of single transformer means for so connecting said sets of electrodes to the supply circuit as to prevent flow of current from .one set of electrodes to an adjacent set of electrodes.
(3. In an electric furnace, the combination with a single hearth containing a bath of material, a. plurality of sets of electrodes associated with said bath, each of said sets comprising three electrodes, and a threephase supply circuit, of transformer means for connecting said sets of electrodes to the supply circuit, said means comprising three primary coils and secondary coils e ual in number to the number of said electro es and so interconnected as to prevent flow of current from one set of electrodes to an adiacent set.
7 In an electric furnace, the combination comprising a plurality of sets of electrodes, a polyphase supply circuit, a transformer means for connecting said sets of electrodes to a supply circuit, said transformer means comprising a lural ity of primary coils and a plurality o secondary'coils respectivel associated with said primary coils and witeach set of electrodes.
