The effect of cathode geometry on the stability of arcs

Abstract

A new technique is presented for stabilizing free-burning d. c. arcs between graphite electrodes in the current range 400-2000 A. The stability of the arcs is shown to be critically dependent on the cathode geometry, and the possible factors influencing the motion of the arc are discussed.
