Der Einsatz der Wendelinstabilität in wandstabilisierten Lichtbögen

The onset of the helical instability in wall stabilized arcs

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

The onset current of the helical instability of wall stabilized arcs can be determined by a theoretical model from a dimensionless function which is only dependent on the power input and a factor containing the gas properties and the arc conductance. The model describes the onset current of the instability in hydrogen and nitrogen as function of the tube diameter and of the pressure. Questions of restabilization are discussed.
