            Abstract : 
This paper presents the results of spectral and optical measurements of the experimental model of the plasma generator of alternating current working on steam-air mixture. Spectra of emission radiation of steam-air plasma describing its composition are shown. Temperature dependence in the plasma generator flame of the gas flow rate and air/steam relationship is investigated. The qualitative picture of behavior of an arc and plasma generator flame at different stages of the discharge received by high-speed shooting is studied.
