Detailed numerical simulation of cathode spots in vacuum arcs—I

A model of cathode spots in high-current vacuum arcs is developed, with account of the plasma cloud left over from a previously existing spot, all mechanisms of current transfer to the cathode surface, including the contribution of the plasma produced by ionization of the metal vapor emitted in the...
