Abstract: The invention relates to a device (20) for a unipolarly operated component (9) capable of storing energy. This device (20) can be applied, for example, in an asymmetrical half bridge circuit (1). It compensates the dc magnetic flux which originates due to the unipolar operation and, hence permits making relatively small in size the component (9) capable of storing energy. Using a current converter (25, 32) with suitable winding ratio as an automatic and load-dependent compensation device, moreover, permits very flexible adaptation to load changes. Such adaptation is, in particular, required when very high pulsating current occurs on the primary side with simultaneous secondary no-load operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a d.c.-a.c. converter with an asymmetric half-bridge circuit (1) that has an energy-storing component (6). The controllable switching means (2, 5) of the asymmetric half-bridge circuit (1) are driven by means of phase-shifted control pulses, the control pulses partly overlapping in time. The pulse width of the phase-shifted control pulses is substantially 180 electrical degrees.

Abstract: The invention concerns a converter (2) provided with GTO thyristors the frequency and characteristic shape of its output voltage (U.sub.A) being constrained by a load (3). The frequency of the converter (2) is matched to the constrained output voltage (U.sub.A) with the aid of a regulating circuit (4). Non-simultaneously switched GTO thyristors are switched on and off in a predetermined timed relation to each other (FIG. 3).

Abstract: In an auxiliary-voltage DC source for supplying an electric circuit and, more particularly, one at a high potential in an electron gun without an isolation transformer, the primary winding of a current transformer is located in an alternating-current section of the electric circuit. The current transformer has at least one secondary winding which is connected through a rectifier to a parallel regulator for providing the auxiliary-voltage.

Abstract: A system for the control of power of a high-voltage electron beam generator having a cathode and a control electrode for the cathode, has a controller at ground potential, a pulse generator for the production of square-wave voltage pulses symmetrical with ground potential, a transformer for transferring high-voltage potential to the beam generator including a primary winding substantially at ground potential and a secondary winding at high-voltage potential, a full-wave rectifier connected to the secondary winding and a filter connecting the rectifier to the cathode and to the control electrode. The filter comprises an LC combination of at least two LC members connected in series, in conjunction with at least two capacitors, one parallel to the cathode-control electrode and the other parallel to the full-wave rectifier, the resonance frequencies of the LC members being in a ratio of approximately 2:1.
