High voltage igniter for carbon arc lamp
I know how a carbon arc lamp works, but knowing that an arc lamp of inert gas, ignited by a discharge of high voltage that ionizes the gas inside, I wonder if it would be possible to cause the ignition … of an arc lamp with carbon electrodes by high voltage discharge instead of the separation of the electrodes. …

High voltage igniter for carbon arc lamp
I was almost certain that you could try to light the electric arc with carbon electrodes using a high voltage, but I was very surprised that NASA has already implemented it. … As for how to avoid, that the high voltage pulse does not damage the DC power source, the answer for Bryan Boettcher is as follows:
There are two ways to realize an igniter for arc lamps (now including …
