Claim 0:
1. An electrically heatable packed pressure-bearing apparatus having an upper apparatus section, a middle apparatus section and a lower apparatus section, where at least one pair of electrodes in a vertical arrangement is installed in the middle apparatus section and all electrodes are disposed in an electrically conductive solid-state packing, the upper and lower apparatus sections each have a specific conductivity of 105 S/m to 108 S/m, and the middle apparatus section is electrically insulated against the electrically conductive solid-state packing,
wherein the upper and lower apparatus sections are electrically insulated from the middle apparatus section,
an upper electrode is connected via the upper apparatus section and a lower electrode via the lower apparatus section or each electrode is connected via one or more connecting elements that are in electrical contact with these sections and
a ratio of a cross-sectional area of each of the upper and lower electrodes to a cross-sectional area of the respective connecting element or, without use of a connecting element, a ratio of the cross-sectional area of each of the upper and lower electrodes to a cross-sectional area of the respective apparatus section is 0.1 to 10.
