It is shown that the ion plasma flow originated from cathodic spots of vacuum arc discharge, at its propagation through cylindrical electrode with proper voltage bias, initiates hollow cathode discharge, which is self-sustained and continues its glow after the ion plasma flow blow out. At that, th...
