Abstract(in English) Arc discharges of Silver contacts were generated under conditions of the opening velocity of 1mm/s, the voltage of 48V, and the current of 4A in air. The rate of transition to gaseous phase was determined by measured voltage waveforms between contacts. As a result of the experiments, the tendency was that the longer the electrode length, the higher the rate of transition to gaseous phase. When the electrode length changed from 2mm to 10mm, the rate of transision to gaseous phase changed from about 90% to 50%. In this paper, the voltage-waveforms of the contacts are shown, and the graph of the characteristics of the dependency of the electrode-length on the rate of transition to gaseous phase is shown. This paper suggests that the generating metallic phase in break arc might be controlled according to the structure of electrode.
