When external forces (buoyancy, gas flow) act on the plasma channel, it is pushed from this optimal position. Without buoyancy or external gas flow, the arc would stay in this place in- definitely.

along the shortest path between the electrodes.

The most probable place for arc ignition is the site of the strongest electric field, i.e. The sliding or gliding arc (glide arc) is a type of a plasma discharge, where the arc channel is moving along slanted electrodes. If the configuration of electrodes permits the movement of the plasma channel, a gliding arc is formed. High speed serial port - The module features a serial communications port supporting standard protocols such as Modbus for connection to external devices such as operator interface panels.The bus has the capability to connect to remote I/O, operator panels, Unidrive SP, Mentor MP and Mentor II drives and PCs using an OPC server. CTNet is optimized for intelligent drive systems offering flexible peer to peer communications. Drive-to-drive communication - SM-Applications Plus modules include a high speed drive-to-drive network called CTNet.Inputs/Outputs - The module has two digital inputs and two digital outputs for high-speed I/O operations such as position capture and actuator firing.Tasks are synchronized to the drive’s own control loops to give the best possible performance for drive control and motion. The module uses a high speed multi-tasking operating system with task update times as low as 250μs.
