I am having trouble in making a power source for the DBD. I can't seem to find any calculations to get the required voltage and frequency of AC to generate plasma. I want to know the circuit/method/equipment needed to generate that voltage from a normal 220 V/50 Hz AC socket in my lab.I am doing it as an experiment for my second year undergraduate project.
Thank you

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you post some links to DBD? What applications is it used for?

When I was at school we used an induction coil and we used the discharge for making Ozone. The discharge took place through the wall of a glass tube, and we called it a Silent Discharge at that time.
 
I need the plasma for an experiment. I want it to sustain for a considerable amount of time.

Okay, but that doesn't really help much. Could you please address my question/request? Thanks.
