Niklas Pete, if you want ISOPULS ( isoenergetic pulses that have uniform craters ) then all the worry about frequency is useless
if you dont need uniforn surface finish, then ignore this comment if you DO want uniform surface finish, then you do not use repetitive pulse grnerator instead, you wait for ionization ( a kind of indetermonate latency of conduction) THEN start decrementing the ontime. This was the joules delivered are equal ( the energy is equal ) Once the ontime is finished, the current is turned off and the off time is waited THEN you turn on a tiny exciting voltage and wait for another ionization ( and voltage drop ) before starting the next ontime current flow. some pix: http://www.edm-products.com/Dielectrics/ifase/ifase_1.htm look at figure 3 if you wait for the ionization (wait for the voltage to drop) and then deliver current for the duraction of 'ontime', the energy delivered will be uniform, and the surface crater will be uniform if not, the energy per pulse in non-uniform, to the extreme that some pulses deliver nearly no energy! see figure 4, when the strategy is isoenergetic, the current waveform will be uniform and the leading edge of the voltage will vary. if not isoenergetic, the leading edge is static on the scope, but the current wave form will vary.
