Abstract
A compound surface-charging electrode (6) with a metal housing (11). The housing accommodates two or more unit electrodes and upstream resistances (1) that can be connected to a source (U) of high voltage. The unit electrodes have prongs (3) that project out of the housing. The housing is open enough to allow them to do so. Each prong can be covered up by an electrically conductive electrode hatch (4). The electrode hatch is electrically conducting and connected to the housing. The housing and the electrode hatch are connected over to one terminal of a resistor, the other terminal of which can be grounded.
Claims12
A compound surface-charging electrode comprising a metal housing;
- a source of high voltage;
- at least two unit electrodes and upstream resistances connected to said source of high voltage;
- said unit electrodes having prongs projecting out of said housing, said housing having an opening for allowing said prongs to project out of said housing;
- an electrically conductive electrode hatch for covering each of said prongs, said electrode hatch being electrically conducting and connected to said housing;
- a resistor with two terminals;
- said housing and said electrode hatch being connected to one of said terminals, the other one of said terminals being connected to ground potential.
