INTRODUCTION
What
used in - Research work in Physics - Insulation test on Cables and Capacitors - Impulse Generator How to Generate HDC? For DC Voltages up to 100KV, Electronic Valve Rectifiers are used. AC Supply to Rectifier tubes maybe Power Freq or AF (AF low ripple avoid costly filters)
Rectifier
maybe e-tube (PIV =250KV) or solid state device (PIV up to 20KV lab use silicon diodes ). For Higher Voltages units are used in series. (special care should be taken in order to make uniform distribution of transient voltage)
The
value of RC = 10 x Period of AC Supply PIV at least 2Vm To limit charging current an R in series with transformer
construction Protective Shield or Grid around the filament and cathode. Anode usually circular plate Heater and Cathode experience large electrostatic force during non-conduction period.
To
Anode firmly attached fixed to valve cover A steel mesh structure or protective grid kept at Cathode potential surrounds cathode and filament (hence mechanical forces between A & K reflected on grid only)

In
HW, Ripple Freq = Supply Freq In FW, Ripple Freq = 2 x Supply Freq Ripple Voltage can be kept low by proper choice of C and Transformer Reactance for given load.
