STUDY OF HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC ARC IN DIFFERENT IGNITION CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the parameters of High-voltage Electric Arc, performed on the assembled in the laboratory installation. It is a study of these parameters dependence on the conditions of High-voltage Electric Arc combustion in different gas media, at different pressures, in the magnetic field and in the candle flame. It is shown that the gas medium affects the ignition time of the High-voltage Electric Arc and the stability of its combustion. The greatest stability of combustion and the shortest ignition time of High-voltage Electric Arc are observed at reduced pressure. In inert gas, the combustion stability is also quite long, however the ignition time is longer than at reduced pressure. For gas mixtures, the shortest ignition time of High-voltage Electric Arc corresponds to the presence of oxygen in the gas medium. The magnetic field superimposed on the High-voltage Electric Arc reveals the arc deviation to one of the poles of the magnet, which proves the electromagnetic nature of the High-voltage Electric Arc. The flame of the candle increases the number of plasma flashes. The article presents the scope of High-voltage Electric Arc.
