This article presents safety and intelligent control systems essential for safe and reliable operation of DC arc plasmatron. Presented methods and techniques are also applicable to other types of plasmatrons and devices. Author presents and describes subsystems of DC arc plasmatrons including its: start up and operation algorithms, detection of malfunction’s, control parameters and techniques for plasmatron operation. Moreover, issues and requirements identified in field operation are presented in case of plasmatron operation on site, communication and supervisory system for flexible integration of independent device in complex SCADA systems. Presented material covers also safety techniques, procedures and subsystems necessary for safe and reliable plasmatron operation, with examples of experience in plasmatrons applications. Presented in this article plasmatrons control and safety systems with theirs functions together with operation algorithms were applied and validated in constructed and operated plasmatrons. Plasmatrons were tested in different environments. For example in the plasmatron plasma reactor where three 20 kW plasmatrons were used and installed directly in high temperature refractory that consisted of plasma incineration and smelting of metals chamber.
