Electrostatic precipitator pulse power supply

Abstract

IT IS NOT SURPRISING that the fundamentally important advances in the electrostatic method of separating suspended particles from gases have resulted primarily from improved methods of supplying high-voltage power. Much recent research in the electrostatic collection of particles has been directed toward improving and stabilizing electrical energization, both in connection with conventional rectifier equipment and in the development of entirely new methods of supplying electric energy. Conventional methods of supplying high-voltage power to precipitators stem directly from Cottrell's pioneer work, and essentially comprise transformer and rectifier equipment, usually with unfiltered output.
