\^mw Fig. 46. Diagram of the Electric Circuit in the Birkeland-Eyde Electric Furnace source of alternating pressure of 5000 volts. The high tension arcwhich is first produced quickly breaks down to a low voltage arc carrying a heavy current.This low voltage arc is avoidedby an ingenious method… … is ductor located in a magneticfield and carrying a currenttends to move out of thatfield. The electric arc followsthis law and tends to moveupward or downward, de-pending upon the directionof the current. In movingaway from the straight lineconnecting the two ends ofthe electrodes, it…
