Abstract

This high-voltage direct-current generator supplied with alternating current utilizes a so-called ''''Villard''s chain'''' i.e. a voltage-adding and current-rectifying chain of capacitors and diodes. The capacitor plates are disposed in two parallel spaced rows and the capacitor plates of any pair of successive adjacent capacitors in each line of capacitors are closely adjacent, the diodes being housed in the gap left between the two rows of capacitor plates, the diode and capacitor assembly being embedded in a mass of dielectric material in order to constitute a compact, three-terminal block. Thus, a high-power generator can be constructed will very reduced overall dimensions and weight.
