Plasma technology is one of the technologies that can help in various sectors. The development of research on plasma technology has several benefits, for instance to process certain materials or produce some nanomaterials in an industrial sector, to treat more waste in an environmental sector, to purify drinking water in a food sector, and various other sectors. This study is to observe characteristics of current and voltage on plasma discharge using 15 kV Boost Inverter device as a source of plasma generation and to find the energy needed or consumed in plasma discharge events between two electrodes. For measurement, current and voltage sensors are installed simultaneously on each side to measure the real-time value during plasma discharge events. Mathematical calculations are also carried out to identify the value of electric power and energy. As a result, based on secondary current values, the type of plasma release can be considered as corona plasma type, since the value reaches the order of microamperes (10 −6 A) with several visible physical features. Based on calculations, the electrical power needed to produce plasma is in the range of 8.77 × 10 −5 to 2.36 Watt, with an average consumption value of ± 0.43 Watt per second. For the value of electrical energy produced has the largest value which reaches a value ± 6.78 × 10 −5 Joule with an average energy used per second of ± 6.72 × 10 −6 Joules per second.
