In the indirect arc furnace, the arc is formed between the two electrodes and heat produced is transmitted to the charge by radiation.

The temperature is lower than direct arc furnace. So these furnaces are suitable melting metals having lower melting point e.g. nonferrous metals such as brass, copper, zinc etc.
