An Atmospheric Plasma Jet Generator Driven by a Current Source
Abstract
A novel system aiming to electrically supply various cold plasma generators is proposed. It operates as a programmable linear current source which is able to maintain a dc constant discharge current at various discharge voltages required to sustain the plasma jet. Its design is based on a specific electronic device called a switchable current regulator, which considerably simplifies the circuit topology. Experimental results carried out in real operating conditions confirm the practical purpose of the proposed solution.
