Abstract :
In the report the possible gears of explosion emission center initiation in cathode spot of vacuum arc under operation of electromagnetic radiation flow from plasma and brought from an external power source are considered (we call natural such radiation). The given radiation, acting with boundary layers to cathode surface with different values of complex conductivity, can provide conditions of a repetition of operation of cathode spot
