Abstract
A high voltage rapid switching circuit having a capacity in relation to ground and on a charge from a switchable voltage generator, includes a reactive power supplement circuit constituted by series-connected installations, each having an inductance and an initially charged capacitor which are switchable on the said charge to form, respectively, oscillating circuits.
Claims6
A high voltage rapid switching circuit for switching a voltage applied to a charged element having a particular electrical capacity between n different levels comprising switchable voltage generator means connected to said charged element for supplying n levels of d.c. high voltage, starting-up circuit means for connection to said charged element to form at least one oscillating circuit therewith for switching the potential of said charged element with respect to ground to one of said n levels of d.c. high voltage, and logic circuit means for controlling said switchable voltage generator means and said starting-up circuit means to the same of said n levels of d.c. high voltage.
