Abstract
A generator for producing high voltages and having at least one generator winding (12) is connected via a generator circuit (10) to a network (19), which generator circuit has means (15, . . . , 17) for protection against overvoltages. Improved protection against higher voltages is achieved in that the at least one generator winding (12) is subdivided into a number of winding sections (12a-c) whose winding insulation is designed such that the insulation level is graduated, and in that the overvoltage protection means have a number of overvoltage protection elements (15, . . . , 17), which are associated with the respective individual winding sections (12a-c) and whose response levels are matched to the requirements of the associated winding section.
