DIN EN 60519-4:2014-04

This standard shall be applied together with the basic standard DIN EN 60519-1 (VDE 0721-1) "Safety in installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing - Part 1: General requirements" and applies in particular for the following installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing: 1. Furnaces for direct arc heating, forming arcs between the electrode and metal such as the electric arc furnace using alternating current (EAFac) or direct current (EAFdc), and ladle furnace (LF); 2. Furnaces for arc-resistance heating forming arcs between the electrode and the charge material or heating the charge material by the Joule effect, such as the submerged arc furnace using alternating current (SAFac), or direct current (SAFdc). The purpose of this standard is the specification of particular safety requirements for electric arc furnace installations. The responsible committee is DKE/K 362 "Industrielle Elektrowärme" ("Industrial electroheat") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
