  • Patent number: 6459350
    Abstract: The invention specifies a diode-split high-voltage transformer having a core, a primary winding and a high-voltage winding, which is arranged in chambers of a coil former, in which the chambers with the high-voltage winding lie below the primary winding, a conductive coating is arranged on the surface of the inner cavity of the coil former, and by virtue of a corresponding arrangement and wiring of the chambers, oscillations arising during operation in the high-voltage transformer induce capacitive currents on the conductive coating, the sum of which capacitive currents results approximately to zero. This can be achieved, for example in that by virtue of a symmetrical arrangement and wiring of the chambers with regard to the diodes, the oscillations induce capacitive currents on the conductive coating which occur in pairs with the same amplitude but in antiphase and thereby cancel one another out.

  • Patent number: 6373203
    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.

  • Patent number: 6211766
    Abstract: A step-up coil of a high-voltage transformer for powering a cathode-ray tube comprises windings housed in chambers of a coil former. These windings are made in pairs. The inner end of the first winding of the pair is connected to an electrode of a first diode, the inner end of the second winding of the pair is connected to the electrode of like nature of the second diode, or alternatively, the outer end of the first winding of the pair is connected to an electrode of the first diode, the outer end of the second winding of the pair being connected to the electrode of like nature of the second diode. The inter-winding capacitances of the windings of the pair are thus non-activated, the corollary of this being a decrease in the value of stray oscillations of the output voltages.

  • Patent number: 5844793
    Abstract: A high-voltage transformer for a television receiver is known to be tuned to a specific harmonic of the frequency of the flyback oscillation in order to reduce the internal resistance of the high-voltage source. In certain cases such as, for example, a channel change, a particularly high beam current of the order of magnitude of 3 to 5 mA briefly occurs. As a result of such a current surge, overshoots are produced at the transformer which may increase the flyback voltage at the switching transistor by approximately 150 V and thus endanger the transistor. The object is to design the transformer in such a way that overshoots of this type are reduced. According to the invention, the number of partial windings (W2-W5) is greater than the number of diodes (3-5), and separate partial windings (W2-W5) are tuned to different harmonics. This tuning causes the quality factor to be reduced and the attenuation and the bandwidth to be increased in the system.

  • Patent number: 5629589
    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.

  • Patent number: 5576681
    Abstract: A high voltage transformer for a television receiver includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The secondary winding is compartmentalized and is separated from the primary winding by a space. The secondary winding has a plurality of partial windings which are arranged in cells of a compartmentalized coil form and are connected to one another by diodes. The partial windings are positioned and dimensioned with respect to the primary winding to cause substantially equal pulse voltages of like polarity to exist at the neighboring portions of the primary winding and the partial windings in the vicinity of the space, to substantially eliminate pulse electric fields in the space.
