Device for reducing effect of arccover of cathode ray tube

Abstract

Abstract A high voltage terminal (25) of an ultor capacitance (40) of a cathode ray tube (21) is coupled to an electron gun structure (26). The low voltage terminal (A), which typically comprises a point on an outer conductive coating (24) on the cathode ray tube envelope (22) is coupled to a ground terminal (37) of a spark gap (X-X). <??>The ground termination for electrical components and the chassis (36) is also coupled to the group terminal of the spark gap (X-X). During arc-over, the cathode ray tube ultor capacitance discharges through the spark gap (X-X). <??>Arc-over current oscillations flow in the chassis and electrical component circuitry by means of stray capacitive coupling. Current damping means such as a resistor (Ri) is coupled between the chassis (36) and the low voltage terminal (A) for damping arc-over current oscillation in the chassis and in the component circuitry. The current damping means (Ri) may be of such value as to integrate the voltage across stray capacitance at the frequencies of arc-over currents.
