An EHT power supply, for example for a cathode ray tube, having a voltage multiplier of a multi-stage Cockroft-Walton type, in which the capacitors of each stage are formed by layers of conducting material juxtaposed on either side of a layer of dielectric material, the layers of dielectric material forming an integral part of the mechanical structure of the multiplier and physically supporting the rectifier diodes of the multiplier. In one embodiment of the invention, the multiplier is formed as a closely-spaced stack in which each stage comprises a separate layer of dielectric material, and in another embodiment the capacitors of the AC side of the multiplier are formed on one layer of material and the capacitors of the DC side of the multiplier are formed on another layer, the two layers being disposable on opposite sides of the neck of a cathode ray tube with the successive stages being longitudinally disposed along the neck.
An EHT power supply having a voltage multiplier of a multi-stage Cockroft-Walton type characterised in that the capacitors of each stage are formed by areas of conducting material juxtaposed on either side of a layer of dielectric material, said layers forming an integral part of the mechanical structure of the multiplier and physically supporting the rectifier diodes of the multiplier, wherein the multiplier is formed as a closely-spaced stack, each stage of the multiplier comprising a separate layer of dielectric material and consisting of two capacitors and two diodes, one diode being connected between terminals of the two capacitors of the stage on the same side of the layer and the other diode being connected between terminals of the two capacitors on opposite sides of the layer, wherein the layers are disposable transversely and identically about the neck of a cathode ray tube.
An EHT power supply having a voltage multiplier of a multi-stage Cockroft-Walton type characterised in that the capacitors of each stage are formed by areas of conducting material juxtaposed on either side of a layer of dielectric material, said layers forming an integral part of the mechanical structure of the multiplier and physically supporting the rectifier diodes of the multiplier, said multiplier having an input AC side and an output DC side, wherein the capacitors of the AC side of the multiplier are formed on a first single layer of dielectric material and the capacitors of the DC side of the multiplier are formed on a second single layer of dielectric material, said two layers being disposable along opposite sides of the neck of a cathode ray tube with successive stages of the multiplier being disposable generally longitudinally to one another with respect to said neck.
