Control and filter circuits for linear power supplies, employing resistance to limit the release of stored energy and simultaneously removing the input mains AC, so as to protect a load device from damage when a high voltage fault occurs. The circuits may be used particularly in output filters for high voltage power supplies for high power transmitting tubes, such as Inductive Output Tubes used in UHF television transmitters, which must be protected from internal arcing by a controlled release of stored energy and a rapid disconnection of input power. The use of the filter circuit combined with rapid solid state switching ensures that the load is not subject to an excessive surge when a high voltage fault occurs.
A filter circuit for a linear high voltage power supply configured to provide power to a high power transmitting tube while protecting the tube during a high voltage arc event, said filter circuit comprising:
