Abstract

This paper is dedicated to characteristic features of operation of the high-voltage plasma generator of alternating current with rod electrodes working on a steam-air mixture. Current-voltage and volt-consumption characteristics, characteristic oscillograms of work, and results of research of influence of relationship of steam and air on electric arc parameters are represented. Researches were carried out by means of a specially developed hardware-software complex.
