Abstract :
Summary form only given. The methods for forming pulsed plasma in air and vacuum present scientific and applied interest. It links with understanding of physical processes and increasing of efficiency for plasma systems. The experimental results for forming of pulsed plasma in air and vacuum with different types of pulsed high voltage generators are presented in the report. The pulsed high voltage generators have variation of pulse duration from few nanoseconds to few hundred microseconds. The conditions for forming of plasma with large cross section are considered. The time characteristics for forming of air and vacuum plasma are discussed. The new plasma effect for the electrical discharge on surface of ferrites is discussed. The design of few pulsed plasma systems is presented in the report. The potential applications of pulsed plasma systems for high voltage pulsed technology, medical application, sterilization and decontamination are discussed.
