Certain electrode materials are more prone to the coking or arcing phenomena than others. Graphite or carbon electrodes are the most commonly used EDM materials that are …

Arcing generates a violent crackling sound and is accompanied by intense heat. This means that arcing can be detected in the sound spectrum, and also thermographically as the increase in …

In Figure 1, the arcing currents are illustrated at different system voltages based on these equations. When an arc occurs, the current is less than the maximum possible fault current …

What is an arcing fault? A. An arcing fault is the flow of current through the air between phase conductors or phase co.

When the contacts separate in this vac-uum, metal from the contact surfaces is evaporated and highly ionized, forming an electric arc. This arc is sustained by the external supply of energy …

This months edition will focus on a special class of separable connectors - those in which there is a potential for arcing. Make and break contacts such as switches and relays must repeatedly …

Arcs are characterized by collective electron emission, which can be stationary with hot cathodes (thermionic arcs), or non-stationary with cold cathodes (cathodic arcs). A brief review on …
