Multiphase electric-arc ac plasma generators with a power of 10 to 500 kW are described, which are designed for use in plasma technologies. Results are given of the investigation of the characteristics of plasma generators for different operating modes, and the basic principles of operation of such plasma generators are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
