Abstract :
This paper gives the results of experimental investigations relating to arc characteristics as they apply in commutator flashing. A knowledge of these characteristics is necessary for the application of the theory outlined in a previous paper1 on flashing of commutators by the same author, as well as for the investigation of flashing due to other causes.
