Korkeajännitesyöttö

Korkeajännitesyöttö refers to a high-voltage power supply, a device that provides a significantly elevated electrical potential difference between its terminals. These power supplies are crucial components in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications where a strong electric field or a substantial voltage drop is required. Examples include particle accelerators, X-ray generators, mass spectrometers, and certain types of lasers.

The design of a korkeajännitesyöttö typically involves multiple stages of voltage multiplication and regulation to achieve the desired high output voltage. Safety considerations are paramount due to the inherent dangers associated with high voltages. Insulation, shielding, and interlock systems are essential to protect operators and equipment from electrical hazards, such as arcing and electric shock.

The output voltage of a korkeajännitesyöttö can range from several kilovolts to several megavolts, depending on the specific application. The current capability of these supplies is often relatively low, as the primary requirement is the voltage itself rather than the current delivery capacity. Stability and ripple are critical parameters for many applications, necessitating sophisticated control and filtering circuits. The physical size and complexity of a korkeajännitesyöttö are directly related to its voltage and power output.
