Abstract

Une alimentation continu-continu utilise un oscillateur de blocage pour convertir une basse tension continue en une tension alternative elevee. Un transistor (24) est polarise par un diviseur de tension (16, 18). Un transformateur a haute frequence (30) comprend un enroulement (36EMF) posterieur couple en dephasage par rapport aux enroulements principal (32) et de retour (34). La tension elevee alternative a la sortie des enroulements secondaires segmentes (38) est redressee par une diode (42) ou appliquee a un doubleur de tension. L'enroulement EMF posterieur (36) et une diode (28) du type a retablissement rapide permettent l'utilisation d'un transistor (24) presentant une tension de claquage plus faible et empeche la saturation du transformateur (30). Les enroulements principal (32) et EMF posterieur (36) sont fabriques avec du fil de Litz et sont enroules dans une disposition bifilaire ou tordus. La largeur d'une couche d'air determine la frequence d'oscillation et la forme sinusoidale de la forme d'onde de courant alternatif. Cette alimentation est indiquee dans des systemes d'allumage pour des bruleurs a huile ou a gaz, dans des appareils electrostatiques de precipitation, dans des machines a photocopier ainsi que dans des postes de television et des ballasts de lumiere fluorescente.
