Abstract
Measurements are reported of the total radiation loss from high-current pulsed arcs which burn freely and stably between copper electrodes in atmospheric air. The diagnostic system developed for these measurements is described, and typical results are presented. It is shown that the radiation loss, which has important temporal and spatial variations, is a major component in the arc power balance. The radiation data, together with a knowledge of the electrical input power to the arc column, have enabled the percentage of the input power lost as radiation to be determined.
