Simulation of an electric arc in circuit using the model described in "The Electric Arc As a Circuit Component", IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Volume: 003027 - 003034.
Examples are given for three arcing cases: contact opening in relays, arcing faults on wires and high voltage arcing between electrodes.
New examples are given using ABCD matrices (Using State Space representation)
Simulations are made with either Simulink Simscape or with Matlab scripting.
