Break arcs are generated in a 48VDC resistive circuit. Circuit current I₀ when electrical contacts are closed is changed from 50A to 300A. The break arcs are observed by a high-speed camera with appropriate settings of exposure from horizontal direction. Length of the break arcs L is measured from images of the break arcs. Time evolutions of the length L and gap voltage V_g are investigated. The following results are obtained. By appropriate settings of the high-speed camera, the time evolution of the length L is obtained from just after ignition to before arc extinction. Tendency of increase of the length L is similar to that of increase of the voltage V_g for each current I₀.
