Boost inverter for Atmospheric Argon Plasma

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The paper describes a high power boost inverter for atmospheric Argon plasma (Ar). A high frequency was used in order to drive the pulse width modulation circuit. The average output current consumption (AOCC) was modified from (20A) up to (30A) by increasing the duty ratio from (0.77) up to (0.88) for the atmospheric Argon gas plasma. The switching frequency of the boost inverter was fixed at (20KHz)
