ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE THROUGH
PLUG PoRcELAINS

C. B. +. writes: have had much
trouble with spark-piugs in large
(aviation?) engines. New plugs work
finely for about 100 hours and then
show n poor spark. although the por-
celains are not broken and there is no
apparent short-circuiting. Tho plugs
seem to put up high resistance. How
can this be the case II the porceIains do
not crack nor the electrodes burn cx-
cessively2
Answer: Most of the trouble with
spark-plugs under heavy continuous
service is from breaking down of the
insulation resistance Of the core with
the result that. after n few hundred
hours service, ignition current leaks
through the porcelain TO such an cx-
tent as to rob the spark of much OF
Its energy. There is much to be learn
cd about this matter. but II appears
that there is structural change that
occurs In the porcelain. due to in
tense heating and that further. there
Is an embedding In Its surface of con-
ductive particles. both of which ac-
tions tend to create electrical leakage.
The failure seems to me n matter of
lowered instead of increased resis-
tance. which can most probably be OBJ
Waited by improvement In the dielec-
tric qualities of the material.
