  • Abstract
    A METHOD OF CONTROLLING d-c power arcs is presented, with the emphasis on eliminating retrogressive motion of the arc. The data are applicable to interrupters which draw the arc in air and force it into an arc chute by means of a magnetic field. The arcs range from 50 to 20,000 amperes at 100 to 1,000 volts.
