Current limitation in mercury vapour discharges
- Abstract:
-
This thesis constitutes a study of the current limitation phenomenon of a low pressure arc discharge in mercury vapour.
A new theory is presented which provides a theoretical relation between the D.C. current limit, IL and the independent discharge parameters of gas density p and tube radius r0. This theory is based on the fact that arc existence is impossible for values of the lumped parameter (pr) less than a critical value.
If at I = 0, p = p0 , where...
