Abstract

Abstract A high voltage generator is provided in which a rectifier is connected with the same polarity to each end of the secondary winding of a transformer, e.g., a flyback transformer in such a manner that the other end of one of the rectifiers is connected to a reference potential point and a high DC voltage is produced at the other end of the other rectifier, and moreover, if desired, a moderately high DC voltage is derived from a neutral point for the alternating current which is formed in the secondary winding.
