An Automatically Regulated Precision High Voltage Source
Otto H. A. Schmitt · Review of Scientific Instruments · 1934
It is frequently desirable to generate very steady high voltage direct current from low voltage alternating current obtained from a source subject to violent fluctuation. An instrument is described which will maintain output voltage constant to less than one percent so long as the supply voltage remains in the range between 95 and 165 volts. The variation of output voltage with changes in applied load is 0.1 percent per milliampere. The pure direct current output may be varied easily and reproducibly between 100 and 2200 volts.
