    ENG: Purpose. The aim of the authors is to find a technical solution to effectively control the appearance of an arc discharge in the subelectrode space of each of the six electrodes in submerged-arc furnaces from operational point of view. Methodology. A scheme was drawn up for modeling of the furnace circuit of a six-electrode furnace, which made it possible to obtain the zero point offset voltage and control its third harmonic and other components. For this purpose, two three-phase systems were created in the electrical circuit of the six-electrode furnace, consisting of half-phases of odd and even electrodes. For each of these systems, an artificial symmetric "star" was created separately. The neutral offset voltage for each of the systems was measured between the star zero point and the conductive hearth. Findings. Analysis of the harmonic composition of the shape of the neutral offset voltage curve, created by using an artificial symmetric star, made it possible to obtain a number of information (dependencies) that can be used in control algorithms. The proposed measuring scheme was tested on operation industrial six-electrode furnace of the Pobuzhsky Ferronickel Plant. During the melting, arcs were artificially created under the electrodes. Wherein: 1) the presence of an arc discharge was confirmed by the appearance of the third harmonic of the zero point offset voltage; 2) phase shifts of the first harmonic unambiguously indicated to the electrode with an arc discharge. Practical value The proposed method for monitoring the presence of electric arcs under the electrodes can be used to control ore-thermal furnaces both independently and as an addition to the already used systems for monitoring and controlling the electric mode of six-electrode furnaces.
