Abstract

The dynamic volt-ampere characteristics are obtained for a plasmatron with an interelectrode insertion at large amplitudes (IA > 50 A) and small rates of change (dI/dt ≤5 A/sec) of current. The results of an investigation by the method of small perturbations of a plasmatron with fixed arc length, in the frequency range 0.2–20 kHz, are given.
