What is pulsed power?
A pulsed power system converts a low-power, long-time input into a high-power, short-time output.
Many pulsed power systems are built for military applications and output high energy pulses, but with the development of faster, solid state switching components the field has expanded to include the development of lower energy nanosecond systems that are utilized in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial and medical applications.
Today, as exciting new applications of pulsed power are being explored and discovered, Transient Plasma Systems designs and manufactures compact pulsed power systems for commercial and research applications.
What is transient plasma?
Transient plasma is a low-temperature plasma that exists during the transient, formative phase of an arc.
It is produced by using short, high-voltage pulses, which are short enough (typically less than 100 ns) to prevent the arc from occurring. In a transient plasma discharge, the energy transfer efficiency is high and significant energy goes into creating highly energetic electrons instead of heating of the surrounding gas. This low-temperature plasma produced by ultra-short electrical pulses can be much more efficient and effective then other plasma sources such as RF or AC.
