What powers each torch?

Hi Peter

After reading the latest published paper on your website “Thermal Plasma Torches for Metallurgical Applications” I imagined each torch needing what to me seemed the equivalent of a medical x-ray generator behind it... (3 phase - 480 V, 150 kVA, 20kHz IGBT switching into a high frequency transformer generating DC (40 to 150 kV) with computer controlled mA and kV etc). Would this be anywhere close to a comparison?
