Abstract
A method is described by means of which the direct current of a spectrochemical arc is kept constant at any value between ½ and 20½ amp in steps of ½ amp, independent of arc gap or the material to be excited. The principle involved is phase control on the grids of thyratrons and the design features which affect this particular application are discussed.Keywords
