This class dispels the mysteries of plasma processes and power delivery. Novices and experts alike will learn about the capabilities and limitations of DC, pulsed DC, and low-frequency (40 to 400 kHz) power supplies for various processes.

Students will learn about arcing, including what causes arcs and how they can be managed to maximize process efficiency and product yields. This course also covers troubleshooting fundamentals that will help your employees quickly isolate suspect power supplies from a system problem. The hands-on lab session with a custom plasma system has proven effective in demonstrating the concepts discussed during lecture, enabling students to immediately begin implementing skills learned in this class.
