Spectral Method for Determining Parameters in the Mayr and Cassie Models of Electric Arc

The paper describes the effect of various external factors on the static and dynamic voltage-current characteristics of electrical arcs as well as presents the spectral method for determining parameters of the Mayr and Cassie mathematical models. This method was also used for the coarse classification of arcs. The effect of column length disturbances on the uncertainty of arc model parameter determination was investigated using MATLAB-Simulink program.
