Abstract
The author presents a theoretical treatment of burnout of coiled filaments containing “hot spots” caused by wire diameter or coil pitch defects. Comparison with experimental measurements suggests that filament failure appears to be caused, in most cases, by pitch defects rather than wire diameter defects.
