Abstract

To increase the stability of the discharge arc, experimental studies of a plasma generator with a divergent channel of the output electrode are carried out. It is shown that the optimum opening angle of flow of 6° between the inside wall of the channel and the channel axis leads to increased stability of the arc compared to a cylindrical channel of constant cross section.
