Abstract
A flyback transformer includes a high voltage winding with a first rectifier coupled to the high voltage lead and a second rectifier coupled to the ground return lead. The rectifiers are poled in the same direction to conduct beam current and block the DC current path in the winding during the trace interval. The distributed capacity forms a capacitive voltage divider and developes an intermediate DC voltage in the high voltage winding. The intermediate DC voltage developed at an intermediate AC null terminal of the high voltage winding is selectively adjusted by structure which is selectively capable of adding sufficient distributed capacity to appropriately change the capacitive voltage division ratio.
Claims5
A high voltage structure, comprising:
- a high voltage winding adapted for coupling to a source of alternating current voltage for developing a high voltage in said high voltage winding;
- a first rectifier poled to conduct current;
- high voltage termination means connecting said first rectifier and a high voltage lead of said high voltage winding for providing electrical continuity between said high voltage winding and said first rectifier;
- a second rectifier poled in the same direction as said first rectifier, said first and second rectifiers blocking the DC current path in said high voltage winding during a first polarity interval of said alternating current voltage for developing an intermediate DC voltage in said high voltage winding entirely by means of distributed capacitive voltage division for establishing an AC null point at an intermediate DC terminal of said high voltage winding;
- and
- additional distributed capacity developing structure connecting said second rectifier and a second lead of said high voltage winding for providing sufficient additional distributed capacity to selectively adjust said capacitive voltage division for selectively adjusting the value of said intermediate DC voltage.
