An electrosurgical system including an electrode assembly having two electrodes for use immersed in an electrically conductive fluid has a generator with control circuitry for rapidly reducing the delivered radio frequency output power by at least 50% within at most a few cycles of the peak radio frequency output voltage reaching a predetermined threshold limit. In this way, tissue coagulation can be performed in, for example, saline without significant steam Generation. The same peak voltage limitation technique is used in a tissue vaporisation or cutting mode to limit the size of the steam pocket at the electrodes and to avoid electrode burning.
