I am a bit confused by your description. The arcing was once per minute.
Presumably the arc occurred over a very short time, much less than one
second. What was happening during the other 59 seconds of each minute?

I'm sorry, Gene, my bad. The arcing was once per second
not once per minute. I actually have never heard of such
a thing as arcing once per minute. Have you?
