Arc Length depends on the secondary voltage of furnace transformer. Thumb rule is for 500V the Arc length would be 500mm(20"). The purpose of arc length is to give maximum power to the melt, without arc flare. -
-- the current in the arc -- your definition of 'intensity'
arc efficiency=heat developed at anode/total heat developed
The arc utilized for arc welding is low voltage high current discharge. The voltage required for maintaining an arc is less than for striking the arc. Voltage drops & current increases as the arc is developed. The voltage required to strike DC arc is about 50-55 V & for AC is 80-90 V.It is difficult to maintain the arc with voltage less than 14V or more than 40V.READ ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY BY B L THAREJA / AK THAREJA
The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
