Techshop used or still uses a handheld conversion, there were some noise issues but only into the ac power lines, not to the pc, and that was remedied by a power line noise suppression device.
Basically a large capacitor and resistor, of what is called a low pass filter. but for larger power than a small circuit. same math/concept.
It used to lock up the cnc machine in the other room until this was installed.

There is specialized low frequency plasma. Go on a cnc forum (like cnczone), you will learn a lot.
