Abstract: The invention relates to a compact and cost-effective diode-split high-voltage transformer for high voltages of, in particular, above 20 kV, in which the high-voltage winding lies in chambers of a coil former underneath the primary winding and which contains elements by which the electric field between the coil former and the core is reduced in order to avoid corona effects. These elements include, for example, a conductive coating of the surface of the inner cavity of the coil former, which coating preferably comprises colloidal graphite. The conductive coating may also be realized by a metallized plastic film which is wound between the core and the coil former. Alternatively, the cavity between the core and the coil former may be filled with a material whose relative permittivity ∈r is distinctly greater than that of air. The use of a larger number of diodes is also possible for reducing the electric field.

Abstract: A diode-split high voltage transformer for a television receiver includes a coil form having a plurality of axially aligned cells. The cells are arranged in groups and are separated by fins. Partial windings are individually arranged in the cells. A plurality of diodes is arranged about the edge of each fin and and substantially normal to the of the form. The partial windings and the diodes are alternately connected in series. Each of the fins includs a ramp-shaped recess tangentially extending from the fin edge to the bottom of the cell adjacent to the fin to provide space allowing the winding wires to stay clear of the partial windings.

Abstract: A high voltage transformer for a television receiver includes a coil former supporting a primary winding on a magnetic core. The primary winding has an axial length L. A compartmentalized coil former supports a high voltage coil radially surrounding the primary winding. The high voltage coil has a radial outer diameter D with the ratio of L/D being less than one. A plurality of diodes are supported by the compartmentalized coil former and connect the high voltage coils in series. The diodes are supported on the compartmentalized coil former at substantially the same axial position and are equally spaced about the periphery of the compartmentalized coil former.
