  • Abstract
    It is the purpose of this paper to examine the need and design of arc-welding reactors for d-c arc-welding sets. The inductance useful in stabilizing welding arcs is defined, and methods for calculating and measuring this quantity are suggested. Further, criteria for designs which make most effective use of material are established. Finally, a recent development in reactor design is described.
