“…These constants may vary in accordance with the arc medium material and ambient conditions. A survey of the literature shows that the values of A and n, as measured or utilized by different investigators, vary over a wide range for different types of arc (see Table 2.3) [3,21,23,38,40,41,50,51,52,53]. These values depend not only on the arc medium but also on the electrolyte used to form the resistive layer.…”
