Abstract:Different forms of Cockcroft-Walton multipliers are widely
used to generate very high voltages in the range of millions of
Volts. In many applications, high voltage multipliers are insulated
by pressurized gas, to realize compact systems. These systems are
often stressed to high operating electric fields and suffer frequent
discharges especially during high voltage conditioning phase. During
high voltage discharges, transient voltages appear in the system
creating higher stresses than normal oper… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
