  • Abstract
    This paper presents a mathematical model which describes the behavior of the electric arc in power circuits. The arc is studied like a circuit component. Arc equations are analyzed for static and dynamic situations to define a small signal model. Simulation results and experimental results are given for common arc ignition cases.
