Acoustic Monitoring of Plasma Arcs in Direct Current Electric Arc Furnaces

In this article, the extraction of features from acoustic signals generated by a 60-kW direct current electric arc furnace and the use of these features to infer the arc length of the plasma jets in the furnace were considered. A sensor capable of such measurements would be more robust to the unobse...
