The beam current in an electron beam furnace is limited to a predetermined value by means of a thermionic diode 14 connected in series between the D.C. supply 16 and the cathode 40 of the electron gun 10 of the furnace 12. The D.C. supply is derived by means of a rectifier from a three-phase A.C. supply 18 whilst the heating current for the cathode 26 of the diode 14 and the cathode 40 of the furnace 12 are derived from a single phase of the supply 18 by means of variable autotransformers 32, 46, respectively. Thus the maximum current flowing through the diode 14-and hence the electron beam current-is limited by selection of the current flowing in the filamentary cathode 26 of the diode.
