Abstract

An apparatus is provided including a cascaded transformer set and a voltage divider. The cascaded transformer set includes a plurality of transformers, each having a primary and a secondary winding. The secondary winding of one transformer feeds the primary winding of an adjacent transformer. The voltage divider includes a plurality of capacitors and a plurality of resistors configured to divide a voltage applied to the cascaded transformer set among the plurality of transformers. The capacitors of the voltage divider may include a series of disks that are also used in the support structure of the apparatus.
