Arc Length
Arc Length
(OP)
I am wondering what the mathematical formula is to calculate the length of an electric arc length in air. I can't seem to find this formula anywhere on the web. Any suggestions??

RE: Arc Length
For dry air, you can assume about 10 kV per inch for dielectric strength, but once an arc is established, it can be much longer than that.
