How does an arc furnace operate?

Kinda like a welder. ONLY BIG. Dump the scrap metal in it and close the electrodes close together I guess.

OK, so the scrap is the ground and the rods are the element. Pretty simple really.

But the power to run those things! I bet the generators at the power plants really grunt when they kick the juice to it.

Watch the cables on the left as they give the juice to that thing!
