High power electric generator, especially adapted for powering processes involving discharge in a rarified atmosphere

摘要: A high power generator for an ion discharge device used the thermal treatment of metals in a rarified gaseous atmosphere. variable width pulse is to vary input inductance means. The frequency pulses held constant, while varied. An arc protection circuit provided sense and prevent incipient across secondary transformer. includes voltage detector current with logic means under voltage-over condition that presages beginning arc. second embodiment disclosed which uses two circuits parallel drive generator. One charged other discharged. third was thyristor network selectively loading primary pair response inductance-capacitance time constant.
