In operation, DC arc furnaces generate undesired reactive load fluctuations which are compensated for by a power controller without special compensation reactance. In order to permit a melting operation of the arc furnace in weak AC systems the DC furnace is operated with at least two melting electrodes. A current controller is connected to each cathode via rectifiers. Each cathode is controlled with respect to its spacing from a melt by an electrode adjusting device and an electrode controller. Only one current controller one electrode controller are operationally connected, on an input side, to a power factor controller. Power factor control is thus performed with only one electrode assembly.
