State of the art fully water cooled plasma DC generator with ultra fast arc quenching circuit for photovoltaic applications

Abstract

The paper presents issues related to benefits from the usage of water-cooled heat sinks in power electronic devices. It presents several important advantages of this solution. This approach helped to create a new generation of power supplies for plasma application with excellent functional properties: small size, small weight, long life. The paper also presents a unique solution used in arc management that is essential in plasma sputtering process. Construction of this DC power supplies is designed by HUETTINGER Electronic Sp. z o.o. These unique features of generators are desired and used by world leading companies in photovoltaic industry.
