Abstract
Circuitry for providing high voltage DC power from commercially available 60 hertz AC utility power. The incoming 60 hertz AC voltage is rectified to a DC voltage. This DC voltage is then converted to a high frequency AC voltage by means of a sine wave inverter. This high frequency sine wave voltage is then converted to a different voltage and rectified by a voltage doubler. The inversion and rectification are under the control of logic circuitry which includes means for sensing line faults to provide circuit protection.
