Current limitation in mercury vapour discharges

This thesis constitutes a study of the current limitation phenomenon of a low pressure arc discharge in mercury vapour. A new theory is presented which provides a theoretical relation between the D.C. current limit, I<sub>L</sub> and the independent discharge parameters of gas density p...
