Spark checker-spark arc gage

摘要

An arc gage ( 30 ) includes a non-electrically conductive housing ( 42 ) and a first electrically conductive pin ( 44 ) that is disposed therein. The first pin ( 44 ) has a first end ( 44 A) disposed within the housing ( 42 ) and a second end ( 44 B) disposed outside the housing ( 42 ). A second electrically conductive pin ( 46 ) that has a third end ( 46 A) within the housing ( 42 ) and spaced apart from the first end ( 44 A) forms a gap ( 52 ) therebetween. A fourth end ( 46 B) of the second electrically conductive pin ( 46 ) is disposed outside the housing ( 42 ). The arc gage ( 30 ) may be a stand alone device or used as part of a spark checking device that includes a device housing a voltage generator and a wand ( 26 ) that is electrically coupled to the power terminal of a voltage generator ( 34 ) disposed within the device housing ( 28 ).
