Abstract: The series and parallel models of electrical conductivity of molten salt mixtures are extended to multicomponent systems. On the examples of the ternary systems LiCl—NaCl—KCl and LiN0₃—NaN0₃—KN0₃ it will be shown that the series model predicts satisfactorily the conductivity of molten mixtures assuming that it predicts reasonably well conductivity of the boun­dary binary systems. If this is not the case the deviations observed in binary systems have to be considered at the calculation of conductivity of the multicomponent system. The proposed method of calculation of conductivity of nonideal systems is demonstrated on the examples of the molten mixtures NaCl—CaCl₂—BaCl₂ and NaCl—MgCl₂—CaCl₂ .
