Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for generating corona discharges, comprising a first assembly, which first assembly is built up of at least one corona discharge space and at least one discharge electrode disposed in the corona discharge space, as well as a high voltage source, an output of which is connected to the at least one discharge electrode. The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for generating corona discharges as referred to in the introduction, which apparatus is capable of controlling more corona discharge spaces, using the standard parts and components, and which is also suitable for high power levels, therefore. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises at least one further assembly, which at least one further assembly is likewise built up of at least one corona discharge space and at least one discharge electrode disposed in the corona discharge space, which at least one discharge electrodes of the respective assemblies are electrically interconnected by means of a switching element.
