Electrode-sheath voltages (ESVs) were determined as a function of time in high-pressure ac mercury arcs running at different frequencies in the range 50 Hz–5 kHz with sinusoidal wave forms. Besides the experimental investigations, a one-dimensional model was used to describe the arc-column properties. Measurements of the voltage across the arcs were compared with model calculations for the arc-column voltage only. The calculated voltages are mostly smaller than the measured ones, and it was concluded that the difference should correspond to the ESV. This voltage drop was compared with values obtained in a completely different way, namely, by measuring the voltage at different lengths of the arcs which were otherwise identic, and extrapolating it to zero length. As had been shown before, at 50 Hz this voltage drop has a very pronounced time behavior during a half cycle. The investigations were extended to higher frequencies, and the obtained differences are discussed. The field strengths were derived from the rise of the measured voltage versus the discharge lengths; a quantitative agreement with the calculated field strengths was obtained by choosing an appropriate pressure. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
