Abstract
The transition from high conductivity to high resistivity which an a-c. arc undergoes on extinction is studied. Theory and approximate calculations are given for the rate of recovery of dielectric strength of the arc space for short arcs, and results are given of experiments on short arcs, and arcs in holes and slots in insulating material and insulating plates. The influence of chemical activity in arc gases is discussed. Factors contributing to the success of the a-c. oil circuit breaker are suggested.Keywords
