Abstract

The contribution of the of voltage drop components to the impedance of the plasma gap was analyzed based on the non-stationary models of processes in low temperature cesium plasma. Depending on the phase of the plasma parameters and the properties of the thermionic energy converter the voltage drop components may exhibit both inductive and capacitive properties. Hodographs of the impedance of the plasma arc gap in the converter were calculated and analyzed both for arc and diffusion modes. The effect of temperature resonance on the impedance hodograph of the plasma gap in the arc mode was analyzed. Noted is a significant contribution of the volume ionization thermionic energy converter to the inductive properties of the plasma gap.
