Waveform #3 and #4, Quench Mode, Arcs and Sparks, Pedestal Programmed to 1 and 10 Cycles
These two waveforms show typical current waveforms when the RK3000 is programmed
for a Quench mode of both Arcs and Sparks. In this mode, each Arc and Spark initiates
the Quench Time and turns the power off for the programmed time period.
If conditions within the precipitator are extremely severe and a great deal of sparking and
arcing is occurring, operating in the Arc and Spark Quench Mode can reduce the wear on
the electrodes.

One of the outstanding features of the RK3000 is its ability to automatically readjust the
programmable parameters, after initial adjustments have been made, based on actual
operating current levels.
