  • Systems and method for ignition and reignition of unstable electrical discharges
    Patent number: 7417385
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ignition and reignition of unstable electrical discharges wherein a secondary electrode positioned is between a set of primary electrodes and a high voltage is applied between the secondary electrode and successive ones of the primary electrodes to produce pilot discharges that ionize a gas there between and thereby reduce the voltage necessary to ignite a primary discharge between the primary electrodes. Power is provided to the secondary electrode by a circuit which is independent of the circuit that supplies power to the primary electrodes and generates voltage pulses which are substantially higher than the voltage between the primary electrodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2008
    Assignee: Ceramatec, Inc.
    Inventors: Albin Czernichowski, Bogdan Hnatiuc, Peter Pastva, Albert Ranaivosoloarimanana
