Excuse me, I was thinking of an arc being *caused* by an opening circuit (filament failing). The original scenario stated the the full *force* of 600 volts is applied not dropped. With the street railway bulbs, as I understand it, the arc is stretched out or supressed by the vacuum, and disappated; effectively cutting off the runaway current. This will leave a 600v DC potential, at the break, *after* the arc dissipates (if one actual forms) because 0 current flows at this point.. That was my point. The answer to your question is yes. (It's been awhile -I've been working on digital circuits too long lol) |
