The performance surface barrier discharge in magnetic field driven by series resonance converter

摘要

In this research, the application of series resonance converter driving surface barrier discharge (high voltage plasma generator) was carried out. The high voltage is about 5 kV in frequency of 25 kHz was connected to a circular aluminum plate, it was used as an anode electrode and a rectangular aluminum plate was installed as a cathode electrode. These electrodes were separated by using a glass dielectric as barrier. The effect of magnetic field for producing plasma in surface barrier was shown detail different with surface barrier discharge without magnetic field. It is indicated that the discharge current in magnetic field is lower than without magnetic field. The plasma on surface barrier in magnetic field was more luminous rather than without magnetic field. It also indicated that the area of Lissajous diagram for surface barrier discharge in magnetic field was slightly decreased than without magnetic field. It could be concluded that the effect magnetic field would influence to the plasma progress on surface barrier.
