Abstract:
This disclosure is generally directed to controlling energy distribution to a load, especially when anomalous events are detected. Benefits of the present disclosure include minimizing the length of a discharge event, mitigating the effects of an electrical discharge, and to improvements in inducing the ignition of a plasma. Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure improve the control of operating conditions within a chamber and improve the ability for more rapidly initiating plasma ignition in a chamber.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the plasma chamber is electrically connected to an upper rail and a lower rail that connect, respectively to a first and a second output of a power supply, the upper rail at the first voltage level; the second voltage level is provided by closing a first switch biasing a first diode to conduct, the conduction of the first diode forming an electrical conductive path between the lower rail and the upper rail; and the first voltage level is provided by opening the first switch to remove the conducting bias on the first diode, wherein the voltage applied to the plasma chamber is changed between the first voltage and the second voltage until a plasma is ignited in the plasma chamber by closing and opening the switch.
