Full Description

Purpose

The purpose of this recommended practice is to present procedures and positions preferred by the IEEE for using electric heating in the glass industry s melting furnaces and fore hearths and to provide criteria for the safe performance of these electrical heating applications.It is urged that users and manufacturers cooperate and mutually agree to follow this recommended practice.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn.The provisions of this recommended practice apply to (a) All electrical equipment and wiring between the point of connection in the power supply substation and the connection to the furnace or forehearth electrodes for the purpose of heating the glass by the passing of electric current through it. (2) All electrical equipment and wiring that is connected directly to resistance heating devices that supply energy to the furnace of forehearth. (3) All sensors and devices used to measure, alarm, or regulate energy, mass flow, and temperature. (4) The adequate electrical insulation from ground of the refractories containg the molten glass. (5) The adequate electrical grounding og equipment and services. (6) All equipment and procedures pertaining to safeguarding personnel.
