Data on physical parameters of the system of freely driven electrical arcs, joint sequentially in an electrical circuit, are obtained. Considered were a stability of synchronous driving of the electric arc system and effects of secondary formation of arcs. Outcomes of the research can find an application for development of various electric arc installations.
