Abstract

A multi-chamber system with composite electrodes fitted into silicone rubber has been recently proposed for lightning protection of power lines. The arc extinction during a current pulse in the arc chamber has been studied. Optical emission spectroscopy and high speed imaging used in experiments allowed to es-timate plasma temperature and velocity of the jet. Erosion coefficients for electrode materials were esti-mated. Investigations of different materials of the arc chamber were carried out.
