Abstract: A hermaphroditic or "genderless" electrical connector having a main housing and an auxiliary housing. The main housing contains primary electrical contacts while the auxiliary housing provides mechanical keying and, preferably, contains auxiliary electrical contacts. The auxiliary housing can be positioned within the main housing in a plurality of orientations to provide mechanical keying when the electrical connector is telescopically engaged with a duplicate electrical connector.

Abstract: A high voltage pulse generator is provided which so interacts with the parameters of an electrostatic precipitator that excellent pulse waveforms are obtained more efficiently by using less elaborate components than heretofore required. A major feature of the invention is the charging of the pulse forming network through the high-voltage d.c. source which energizes the precipitator for charge-particulate removal.
