The arc current was of a half-cycle sine wave with a frequency of 50 Hz, produced by an L=C discharging circuit. The time of appearance and duration of vacuum arc distortion under three conditions were studied. It was found that the gap distance, current and diameter of the electrode affected the characteristics of vacuum distortion at a long-gap distance. Some characteristics of the vacuum arc at a long-gap distance were revealed and the experience and data for further investigation were provided.展开更多
