The following information is intended to be a
guide to assist in understanding multiplier operation. WHAT IS A MULTIPLIER? Voltage multipliers are AC-to-DC power conversion devices typically comprised of diodes and capacitors. Voltage multipliers produce a high potential DC voltage from a lower voltage AC source. WHAT ARE COMMON MULTIPLIER APPLICATIONS? Originally used for television CRT's, voltage multipliers are used in laser systems, x-ray systems, traveling wave tubes, ion pumps, electrostatic systems, copy machines, scientific instrumentation, oscilloscopes, and many other applications that utilize high voltage DC. For more information about multipliers, please select from the list below:
