Velocity of contact separation 40 cms/sec. tical purposes one may neglect the voltage drop time which is the initia-tive period of the arc. For the circuit in Fig. lb, the current through thearc is the summation of the main circuit current and the transient current from the l-c circuit. The transient current is (Vai — y)(T)^%in ^{Icf^. Fig. 7, (a) and (b), represent diagrammatically the voltage and currenttransients for lumped and distributed circuits. In both cases the arc is 300
