In this work, we report an experimental investigation of a transient arc discharge. Characterisation of the plasma properties by the mean of optical emission spectroscopy is conducted. Results are correlated with electrode erosion and show the influence of the resulting metal vapour on the plasma. Their repartition is also evaluated qualitatively by high speed imaging using interferential filters.
