Resumo: Spots on cathodes of high-pressure arc discharges induced by a rapid increase in the arc current are studied numerically and experimentally. Appearance of stationary and transient spots is analysed in the context of the general pattern of steady-state modes of current transfer to thermionic cathodes and their stability. Transient spots are studied in experiments with COST-529 standard lamps. Modelling and experimental results are in reasonable agreement. A method to prevent formation of transient spots on cathodes of high-pressure arc discharges by means of short negative rectangular current pulses is proposed and validated both numerically and experimentally. Experimental indications are found that the main mechanism of blackening of burners of HID lamps that accompanies appearance of transient cathode spots is evaporation of the cathode material and not sputtering.
