Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1318696A1] The heating elements (8a-8c) of a vacuum furnace are supplied with a heating voltage that is generated on a secondary circuit of a variable reactance transformer (6) connected to a three-phase power network. The primary coil windings of the transformer are switched from delta connection to star connection in different heating phases and the time for switching of the connection is determined as a function of furnace temperature.
