The Geometry of Arc Interruption

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1941
It is the purpose of this paper to present a rigorous analysis and description of the phenomenon which takes place in an interrupting device during the interval between the parting of the contacts and the current zero at which interruption takes place.

The effect of cathode geometry on the stability of arcs

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1969
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.

Controls of subduction geometry, location of magmatic arcs, and tectonics of arc and back-arc regions

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1982
Most variation in geometry and angle of inclination of subducted oceanic lithosphere is caused by four interdependent factors. Combinations of (1) rapid absolute upper-plate motion toward the trench and active overriding of the subducted plate, (2) rapid relative plate convergence, and (3) subduction of intraplate island-seamount chains, aseismic ...

Effect of Electrode Geometry on Arc Flash Protection Boundary

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2019
In arc flash hazards calculations, protection boundary can be used to gain insight in personnel protection against thermal injuries. Although IEEE 1584-2002 has provided the calculation guide based on tests with the arcing electrodes in a vertical plane, applications where the traditional vertical arrangement is not directly applicable have been ...

The Effect of Cathode Geometry on Stability of an Atmospheric Pressure Arc

IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science. 26th IEEE International Conference (Cat. No.99CH36297), 1999
Summary form only given. Atmospheric pressure plasma arcs are used extensively in material processing applications such as welding and metallurgy. An experimental arc furnace operating in air with graphite cathode and steel anode at 100-250 A exhibits large (/spl sim/10% rms) voltage and current fluctuations for certain cathode geometries, with the arc
