Abstract
In the method of controlling the period length of an intermittent voltage supply to an electrostatic precipitator, a search procedure is carried out at predetermined time intervals or at time intervals determined by one or more continuously monitored/measured precipitator or operational parameters. During the search procedure either the number of system voltage half-periods during which the power supply to the precipitator is cut off (the length of the non-conduction (n.sub.p) period), or the number of system voltage half-periods during which the power supply supplies current to the precipitator (the length of the conduction period), are changed according to a predetermined scale or to a scale determined by one or more precipitator or operational parameters. The charge transmitted per system half-period is current in the precipitator divided by the total number of half-periods of conduction per second. The search is stopped when the relation between the charge transmitted per system half-period and the maximum voltage at transition from one search stage to the succeeding one remains constant or increases and the number of system half-periods, of conduction or non-conduction (n.sub.…
