Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION APPARATUS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF RECTIFYING MODULES EACH HAVING A RECTIFIER UNIT CONNECTED BETWEEN A POSITIVE AND A NEGATIVE TERMINAL, THE TERMINALS OF SAID MODULES BEING SERIES-CONNECTED BETWEEN A PAIF OF HIGH VOLTAGE D.C. TERMINALS, EACH MODULE FURTHER INCLUDING AT LEAST TWO CORONA SHIELDS WITH AN INDUCTOR CONNECTED THEREBETWEEN, AT LEAST TWO METALLIC ELECTRODES, A SOURCE OF A.C. POWER CONNECTED TO SAID ELECTRODES TO ESTABLISH AN A.C. ELECTRIC FIELD THEREBETWEEN, SAID CORONA SHIELD BEING POSITIONED IN SAID A.C. FIELD WHEREBY ELECTRICAL ENERGY IS CAPACITIVELY COUPLED TO SAID CORONA SHIELDS TO ESTABLISH SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL A.C. POTENTIALS ACROSS EACH OF SAID INDUCTORS AND EACH INDUCTOR IS CONNECTED TO ENERGIZE ITS RESPECTIVE RECTIFIER UNIT.
