Abstract: | The results of the investigation of the direct current electric arc under the influence on it of the rotating magnetic fields of the inductors with a different number of poles pairs are given in the article. The analysis and the comparison of the arc energetic characteristics and of its movement parameters in the rotating magnetic fields of different configurations were carried out. The comparison of the experimental data and of the results of the theoretical analysis of the arc movement in the 2-poles and 4-poles inductors fields was carried out. A number of original methods for the application of the researched type of the magnetic effect on the electric discharge in plasma techniques and technology was suggested. |
