Zusammenfassung:A plasma burner comprises an electrode holder which carries a tubular outer electrode and a coaxially arranged central electrode, and an electrical current supply source, which can be coupled via current feeders to the outer and central electrodes respectively. Also a device is provided for feeding gas into the region of the electrodes, between which an arc is produced for plasma formation. The tubular outer electrode has a first cooled, arc-inactive tube section, consisting of electrically conductive metal, and an adjoining second arc-active uncooled tube section, which consists of heat-resistant and electrically conductive material, and which is releasably connected to the first tube section. The arc passes between the second tube section and the neighboring arc-active section of the coaxial central electrode.
