The results of studies of an electric arc plasma torch for heating water vapor are presented. For the first time, a structural diagram of a steam-water thermal plasma generator with copper electrodes was implemented. The energy characteristics of the plasma torch and erosion of the electrodes reflect the features of their behavior during combustion in a plasma-forming medium of water vapor. The results obtained indicate the promise of the developed design of the steam-water plasmatron.
