it had to do with a complex relationship between arc energy, gasus equilibrium, tempature, and the various chemical reactions that take place over a wide range, where ozone is prefered at low energy, but at higher energies it is decomposed in the favor of nitrogen oxides, which emit on differnt lines, the folks that worked on atmospheric niotrogen fixation using arcs, as i reacall while chaising the same processes, reported a lot evidance for what all the plasma states where, i would look there first................

Ive had a few SSNST's and i don't recalling one making purple arcs, they still have flaming type arcs very similar to that of a fly-back being feed an equal level of power, purple only accrues below a predictable current threshold, perhaps you SSNST has partially kicked the bucket? short your SSNST through a analog 50 ma meter and see how many ma its producing.

Yes, platninum. we all consided this before. but the color of the flame and a chemical weak in spectra (like barium chorlide) can have its natural spectra washed out. (i had this problem in chem1A)
Or, in our case you can have strong arcs overpowering the chemical spectra by incandescence. and or adding metallo-organic chemistry from the electrodes, which could cause spectra change too.

electrical arc colors, what causes different colors?
