Abstract :
In this paper the carbon arc is considered in its 3 characteristic forms, the low intensity arc, the high intensity arc, and the flame arc. The influence of arc current on the energy emission is discussed in relation to each of the 3 types, as well as the effects of variation in arc voltage. The discussion covers characteristics which should be given consideration in order to make most effective application of the various types of arcs.
