Sumario:This paper describes the design, fabrication and characterization of a three phase floating electrodes electroportation system for dust confinement, compatible with industrial optical quality control systems. The proposed Floating Electrode Electronic Curtain (FE-EC) is composed of floating parallel wire electrodes framed by a two-layer PCB. The floating electrodes are connected to one of the synchronized three channels to generate an electric field traveling wave. The separation between the floating wire electrodes has been determined by minimizing the number of trajectories crossing the FE-EC using a numerical simulation tool. It is shown that the effect of the FE-EC in the luminosity of an industrial led luminaire can be compensated by an 1% increment in the led supply voltage. The performance of the fabricated FE-EC prototype is experimentally quantified, showing efficiencies higher than 95% in simulated relevant conditions.
