Low Power Cuk Inverters

Abstract

The paper describes a low power cuk inverter for atmospheric Helium plasma (He). A high frequency was used in order to drive the pulse width modulation circuit. The average output current consumption (AOCC) was modified from (10A) up to (20A) by increasing the duty ratio from (0.10) up to (0.30) for the atmospheric Helium gas plasma. The switching frequency of the cuk inverter was fixed at (25KHz).
