Abstract
A 500-kilovolt generator for use on a linear accelerator is described. This voltage is obtained by using selenium rectifiers and one microfarad condensers in 22 stages of voltage doublers. The maximum input is nine kilovolts r.m.s. at 750 cycles, and the maximum peak inverse voltage across each rectifier and each condenser is 25 kilovolts. The measured regulation is 25 kv/ma, the measured ripple (peak to peak voltage) is less than 1200 volts/ma; both independent of output voltage. The maximum load is 2.5 ma.
