Abstract
A system for protecting a transformer is provided. The system includes an inductor electrically disposed between the transformer and a load powered by the transformer, and a resistor electrically disposed in parallel with the inductor between the transformer and the load.
Claims20
A system for protecting a transformer comprising:
- an inductor electrically disposed in series between the transformer and a load containing a cathode and a anode powered by DC current provided by the transformer;
- and,
- a resistor electrically disposed in parallel with the inductor between the transformer and the load.
A method for protecting a transformer comprising:
- powering a load containing a cathode and an anode with the transformer such that a DC electrical current flows from the transformer through a damping circuit to the load;
- and
- wherein the damping circuit includes an inductor and a resistor electrically disposed in parallel and the inductor and resistor disposed in series between the transformer and the load.
An electromagnetic ray generator comprising:
- an electron emitter containing a cathode and an anode operative to emit electrons;
- a transformer operative to provide power via DC current to the electron emitter;
- the anode operative to receive electrons emitted by the electron emitter and to convert kinetic energy of the electrons into electromagnetic rays;
- an inductor electrically disposed in series between the transformer and the electron emitter;
- and
- a resistor electrically disposed in parallel with the inductor between the transformer and the electron emitter.
