An improved welding-arc starter
Abstract
Simple circuit modification makes pulse-arc starters more reliable at low currents. Once arc is started, it is maintained at lower voltage level that in previous arrangement due to sufficient concentration of metallic vapor between electrode and working surface as result of improved conduction.
