<p>The method consists in providing the circuit with different power levels ; the tension of the first can be superior, facilitating the ionization of the channel and reducing the ionization delay. A circuit detects the ionization and starts some programmable counters, which count impulses supplied by the time base, the frequency of such impulses is higher then the one of the work impulses ; when the preselected count has been exceeded, the circuit transmits a conduction signal to the following power level, which supplies a stronger current impulse, with a certain delay with respect to the first, and so on. Consequently, the working current is built up in stairs ; this can be realized in one or more jumps so that the selected currents continue to increase progressively, varying at will the shape of the rising edge of the current impulse. This method reduces the wear of the electrode by at least 50 %.</p> |
