Thanks for this info, but i have some questions...How could the arc have have the full force of 600 volts behind it? wouldn't the other 4 lower the voltage?Also, what type of lights do trckworkers use? They seem to be incandescent. Also, i guess since the arc is not self commuting is the bigger explanation...but i thought lighbulbs had a fuse built into them which poppped when they burnt out. I guess the bulb, in essence, becomes a sort of cathode ray tube, with the supports playing the anode, and cathode. Then once the gas IS ionized, it has to flow in one direction, and it keeps going and going. Also, does this ALWAYS occur with regular hous lights used in railcars? Or does it happen sometimes? |
