Abstract
An inductor is connected in parallel with an electrical load which, together with the capacitive components of the load, forms a resonant circuit. An auxiliary inductance coupled to the aforesaid conductor is energized periodically. During the oscillations, the resonant circuit delivers the energy to the load. The power dissipation of the switches is very low, due to the auxiliary inductance and the resonant circuit. The high-voltage generator is particularly suitable for gas lasers.
