An apparatus (100) comprises at least one optical cable (104), a detector (106) and a processing unit (108). An end of an optical cable (104) is placed inside the electric arc furnace (10) for collecting light from the furnace (10). The optical cable (104) conveys the light to the detector (106). The detector (106) separates the light into a plurality of optical bands of the spectrum and transforms strengths of the plurality of optical bands into electrical data. The processing unit (108) measures, for determining a state of the furnace (10), a background of the optical bands in a predetermined manner, at least one characteristic strength level of the optical bands and an average deviation of the strengths of the optical bands from the background on the basis of the electrical data.

A control system for a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process for a metal includes a direct current (DC) power source, a ram drive, voltage drip short sensor, and a controller, which includes a processor. The drip short sensor may be configured to measure a drip short frequency of the electric arc over a period of time. The controller is configured to determine a real time arc gap length between the electrode tip and the melt pool based on a correlation between the drip short frequency and arc gap length. The controller is further configured to control power input to the electrode by the DC power supply by determining an input power level to input to the electrode based on the real time arc gap length, the input power level configured to generate a desired arc gap length, by the DC power supply, at the input power level.
