A pulse method for supplying high-voltage power for electrostatic precipitation

IT IS perhaps not surprising that the fundamentally important advances in the electrostatic method of separating suspended particles from gases have resulted primarily from improved methods of supplying high-voltage power. Both theory and experience bear out the great importance of the methods and apparatus used to supply electric power for the corona discharge in the precipitator, which in turn produces the electrical forces on the particles and causes their collection at a suitable electrode.
