Mode Transitions in Hall Effect Thrusters [PDF]
49th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, 2013 Mode transitions have been commonly observed in Hall Effect Thruster (HET) operation where a small change in a thruster operating parameter such as discharge voltage, magnetic field or mass flow rate causes the thruster discharge current mean value and oscillation amplitude to increase significantly.
