This paper summarizes the characterization of a 100 KW high power Debye Larmor Cascade plasma torch for APS and VPS application. The study focuses to analyses the effect of the arc length, the diameter of cascade tunnel and by optimizing the shape the output anode nozzle. We will report the first study of plasma fluctuation depending on plasma current, Argon and Hydrogen plasma gas mixture for APS and VPS conditions. Which such high-power plasma system we will report first results on ZrO2 TBC coating.
