Design And Construction Of An Electric Arc Generator For Fuel Ignition Studies PDF Download

Excerpt from Design and Construction of an Electric Arc Generator for Fuel Ignition Studies The source voltage and short-circuit current established the minimum values for the capabilities of the switch. It must control a sustained current of at least 700 amps and have a voltage breakdown of at least 525 volts. We used an engineering safety factor of about 2, requiring volts standoff and ampere current capacity for 1 sec as the design values for the switch. At this current, for 1 sec, the series resistor must dissipate to kw without heating to destruction. Because we expected an interval of several minutes between arcs, one-shot, or nonrepetitive, ratings of switching devices were used.
