Typically carbon arcs are made with either DC or AC but in no cases does one find them being generated using a constant current method. This is because constant current arcs are extremely power inefficient.
Would a 1amp 200Vdc constant current source driving a carbon arc reduce heat while still permitting it to have considerable distance between electrodes?
