  • Abstract
    DURING the interruption of direct currents in circuits having inductance, the presence of high-voltage peaks or “inductive kicks” is quite commonly recognized in a qualitative sense. There is however little quantitative data on this subject, particularly at the voltages, loads, and altitudes encountered on modern aircraft.
