SPARK RATE
RECOMMENDED :5-10 SPM Field strength is adjusted in such a way that limited sparks takes place. With some sparks/min. , we are able to create more strong field . The outage due to spark is offset by achieving more strong electric field with limited spark. However, if spark is too high then frequent collapse of field will reduce the efficiency and increase the erosion of emitting electrode.
