High Voltage Ceramic Capacitor Stacks

Ceramic capacitor stacks have been developed for use in low power voltage multipliers used in high voltage DC generators. The major applications are x-ray equipment for medical diagnostics or electrostatic paint spraying equipment.

These series connected disc capacitors have been developed for use in low power voltage multipliers for high voltage DC generators. These devices find their major application in the manufacture of voltage multipliers for electrostatic paint spraying equipment and their compact form lends itself to their incorporation in hand held electrostatic spray guns.

A number of capacitors are assembled together with intermediate fittings which allow the connection of diodes to be made. Output voltages in excess of 100kVDC can be produced depending on the number of stages. Voltage ratings of individual discs range from 8 to 1 5kVDC assuming that the quality of encapsulation by the user is sufficient to prevent external breakdown. A variety of intermediate metal fittings are available and the number of individual capacitors in each stack can be varied to meet customers' requirements up to a maximum of 12.

CAPACITORS - CERAMIC - VOLTAGE MULTIPLIERS ASSEMBLY
A voltage multiplier circuit generates a high DC output voltage from a lower AC input voltage by means of a network of capacitors and diodes.

The voltage multiplication factor depends on how many stages are in the multiplier circuit. The typical output voltages range from 20 kV to 150 kV, but can go up to several MV for scientific laboratory applications.

The most common type of voltage multipliers is the half-wave series multiplier, also known as a Villard cascade. It is commonly used in applications such as X-ray systems, electrostatic equipment, ion implantation devices, and many others.

AnXon Cap offers fully assembled voltage multiplier sets as well as single capacitor stacks, which customers can use to build up their own cascades. All of our voltage multiplier products are highly customizable and can be designed according to customer specifications.
