Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems, methods, and apparatus for preventing electromigration between plasma gun electrodes.SOLUTION: A circuit protection device includes a plasma gun 412 configured to generate a plasma plume, capacitors 210, 212 configured to store electrical energy, and a trigger circuit 304 communicatively coupled to the plasma gun 412 and the capacitors 210, 212. The trigger circuit 304 is configured to transmit a first signal to the capacitors 210, 212 to cause the capacitors 210, 212 to transmit a first portion of the electrical energy to the plasma gun 412. The trigger circuit 304 is also configured to transmit a second signal to the plasma gun 412 to cause the plasma gun 412 to generate the plasma plume using the first portion of the electrical energy.
