Abstract

A power supply which produces a pulsating direct current potential from a first source of alternating current potential and provides a direct current potential to a means for developing a viewable display on a kinescope utilizes a filter network which includes a first inductor. The first inductor provides for a relatively constant level of direct current potential to the means for developing a viewable display with a predetermined range of direct current being supplied to the means for developing a viewable display and a relatively constant level of pulsating direct current potential. A second inductor magnetically coupled to the first inductor and the means for developing a viewable display provides a second alternating current potential greater than a predetermined level to the means for developing a viewable display. The second alternating current potential level decreases to a level below the predetermined level when the inductance of the first inductor decreases to a value less than the predetermined inductance level, thereby rendering the kinescope unviewable.
