Abstract:The design of a pulsed vacuum-arc plasma source with an ignition system based on dielectric surface breakdown is presented and the principle of its operation is described. In the engineered plasma source, a four-section anode is used along with an equal number of arc ignition sections. Additionally, separate power supply circuits are employed
for both the main pulsed arc discharge and the arc ignition circuit. Independent operation of each section of this device is carried out, essentially constituting a combi… Show more
