Abstract

The influence of different methods for calculating mean absorption coefficients on the mean arc voltage and velocity of an arc moving in air along parallel busbars is investigated in a numerical arc simulation. The radiation model used is the discrete ordinate method. Planck, hybrid and Rosseland mean calculations for a three- and six-band selection are discussed. Compared with the experimental results from a published paper, the Planck mean for six bands shows the most promising results.
