<p>A method of making steel in an electric arc furnace (10) is provided. The method comprises the steps of measuring electrical current in at least two phases of electrical power supplied to electrodes in the furnace during a campaign, establishing a setpoint current level and an input time interval, and switching between modes of inputting exothermic energy into the steel melt where at least two phases have measured current levels below the setpoint for the input time interval.</p>
