Abstract

389,946. Supply systems for arcs. SOC. L'AIR LIQUIDE, SOC. ANON. POUR L'ETUDE ET L'EXPLOITATION DES PROCEDES G. CLAUDE, 48, Rue St. Lazare, Paris. Jan. 14, 1932, No. 1163. Convention date, Jan. 17, 1931, [Class 38 (iv).] A low-frequency arc 1 in a medium of high dielectric strength, such as a liquid hydrocarbon, is ignited and maintained by an auxiliary circuit having a condenser 9 and spark gap, which circuit is fed by an alternator 7 with a frequency exceeding 200 cycles and preferably between 500 and 1000 cycles. The spark gap 11, which periodically short circuits the secondary of the transformer 8, is preferably rotary and is driven from the auxiliary alternator and provided with means for phase adjustment. The high-frequency impulses produced by the spark gap are choked by a reactance 17 and byepassed from the main source 4 by a condenser 18 and by a protective circuit comprising a resistance 19 and spark gap 20. The rotary spark gap and condenser may be enclosed in an earthed metal box 10, and the cable 14 conveying the condenser discharges to the arc electrode is enclosed in a metal tube included in the earth connection. A fan 21 may be used to renew the atmosphere in the case.
