Abstract
The effect of plasma flow from a discharge with a solution cathode on the properties of a low-current electric arc has been experimentally studied. Electric power was supplied to the arc from a GORN-type inverter source. A rectifier served as a power source for the discharge with a solution cathode. The output voltage was 1700 V. Aqueous solutions of table salt were used in the experiments. The specific electrical conductivity of the solutions was in the range of 10–15 mS/cm. The electric arc was ignited between horizontally oriented rod electrodes. The interelectrode distance varied within 2–15 mm. The discharge current with a water cathode was established within 8–15 A. The arc burned in the current range of 1–8 A. The conditions under which stable burning of the electric arc is ensured are revealed.
