Series rectifier circuit with capacity compensating means

Claim 1

IN A HIGH VOLTAGE FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER CIRCUIT HAVING A PLURALITY OF RECTIFIER COMPONENTS ARRANGED IN TWO STACKS AND CONNECTED BETWEEN A TRANSFORMER AND A LOAD, A COMPENSATION MEANS COMPRISING, TWO CONDUCTORS, ONE FOR EACH STACK, POSITIONED ADJACENT TO SAID RECTIFIER COMPONENTS FOR CREATING DISTRIBUTED CAPACITIES BETWEEN THE CONDUCTORS AND THEIR ADJACENT COMPONENTS, SAID CAPACITIES ADJUSTED SO AS TO MATCH THE DISTRIBUTED CAPACITIES BETWEEN THE COMPONENTS AND THAT PORTION OF THE CIRCUIT WHICH NORMALLY CAUSES UNEQUAL CAPACITY CURRENTS TO FLOW THROUGH THE RECTIFIERS IN A DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO THE NORMAL CURRENT FLOW, SAID CONDUCTORS CONNECTED TO PORTIONS OF THE TRANSFORMER SO AS TO RECEIVE SUBSTANTIALLY TWICE THE VOLTAGE THAT IS APPLIED BETWEEN THE RECTIFIER COMPONENTS AND SAID CIRCUIT PORTION AND THEREBY ELIMINATE THE CAPACITY CURRENTS THROUGH THE RECTIFIERS DURING THE APPLICATION OF THE INVERSE VOLTAGE PULSES.
