摘要： An ionizing bar assembly having a plastic housing with two individual ionizing electrode modules disposed on opposite sides. The ionizing electrode modules each include a plurality of printed circuit boards having signal traces thereon with ionizing electrodes or pins extending therefrom. The printed circuit boards are electrically coupled together by conductive rods or tubing positioned adjacent to the traces on the boards and soldered at various positions along the traces. The ionizing electrode modules are placed at opposing angles and are offset laterally from each other in such a way that the ionizing electrodes or pins extending from one module are located between the ionizing electrodes or pins extending from the opposite module, with the tips of each aligned along a common central linear axis.

摘要： Ionizing method and apparatus includes a pair of inverters to supply ionizing voltages to ionizing electrodes only during alternate halves of a duty cycle in which one inverter is actuated to operate at high oscillating frequency while the other inverter is inactive, and thereafter in an alternate half of the duty cycle in which the one inverter is inactive and the other inverter is actuated to operate at high oscillating frequency. Each inverter includes a return current path that combines in a common return path in which return currents may be monitored for selective control of one or both of the inverters. Small step-up transformers and other components operating at high oscillation frequency promote confined packaging of high voltage generators for convenient mounting adjacent a pair of ionizing electrodes to reduce lengths of heavily-insulated high-voltage cables between generators and electrodes. Each electrode only operates on one polarity of high voltage derived from half-wave rectified high-frequency oscillations during the actuation of the associated inverter. Closely-spaced mounting of the electrodes adjacent a web of material having net electrostatic charge to be neutralized facilitates alternately supplying ions of each polarity from separate ones of the electrodes to neutralize charge on the web.

摘要： The total of the ion current leaving electrodes of one polarity and the ion current flowing to those electrodes, is measured as the current in the ground return path of the corresponding generator. For a brand-new ionizer, the value of that total ion current for electrodes of each polarity under normal operating conditions will substantially be the maximum ion current the positive and negative electrodes are capable of generating. The changes in the current in the ground return path reflect changes in the ionizing efficiency of the electrodes caused among other factors, by contamination. The values of the currents may be scaled up or down to the arbitrary unit. Using this scaling allows to have a signal that is normalized regardless of the length of the ionizer and number of the ionizing electrodes.

摘要： Apparatus for measuring corona current in high voltage A.C. ionizers uses an electrical sensor adjacently spaced from at least one of the discharge electrodes and coupled to electronic circuitry for separating capacitive current from the corona current. In one mode, the capacitive current component is measured directly by a first sensor adjacently spaced from one discharge electrode whose corona current flow to such electrode is either obstructed or squelched entirely while a second sensor monitors total current. The signals from the two sensors are electrically subtracted when applied to opposing inputs of a differential amplifier to provide an output signal proportional to just corona current. In a second mode, a measure of corona current is again provided by electrically subtracting from a total current signal input to a differential amplifier a signal equal to the capacitive current component. However, while the total current signal in this case is again obtained by a single sensor adjacently spaced with respect to one electrode, the capacitive current signal is generated independently of a sensor through electronic circuitry coupled to the A.C. line voltage. In a third mode, a signal from a single sensor adjacently spaced from a single discharging electrode is applied to phase discriminator circuitry that passes only selected portions of the sensor-generated signal which contain equal positive and negative segments of the capacitive current component so that the average capacitive current signal thereof is equal to zero, whereby upon filtering the capacitive current signal will cancel out and leave remaining only that component proportional to corona current.

摘要翻译： 用于测量高电压交流电离器中的电晕电流的装置使用与至少一个放电电极相邻间隔开的电传感器，并耦合到用于将电容电流与电晕电流分离的电子电路。 在一种模式中，电容电流分量由与一个放电电极相邻间隔开的第一传感器直接测量，其电晕电流流到这种电极被完全阻塞或压扁，而第二传感器监测总电流。 当施加到差分放大器的相对输入端时，来自两个传感器的信号被电扣减，以提供与正电晕电流成比例的输出信号。 在第二模式中，通过从输入到差分放大器的总电流信号中减去等于电容电流分量的信号，再次提供电晕电流的测量。 然而，尽管在这种情况下的总电流信号通过相对于一个电极相邻间隔的单个传感器再次获得，但是通过耦合到交流线电压的电子电路，独立于传感器产生电容电流信号。 在第三模式中，来自与单个放电电极相邻间隔的单个传感器的信号被施加到相位鉴别器电路，该鉴相器电路仅传递包含电容电流分量的相等正和负段的传感器产生的信号的选定部分， 其平均电容电流信号等于零，由此在滤波时，电容电流信号将抵消并且仅保留与电晕电流成比例的分量。

摘要： An instrument for non-contact measurement of electrostatic fields and related parameters, such as electrostatic potential, voltage and charge density of a charged object, includes a sensor for sensing the electrostatic field produced by the object and for producing an electrical signal, a display for producing a visual readout related to the electrical signal and a range scaling circuit for coupling the sensor to the display. The range scaling circuit is coupled to logic which switches the range scaling circuit and the display back and forth between two ranges, one for relatively higher strength field measurements and one for relatively lower strength field measurements. Because the distance at which the instrument is held from the charged object to achieve an accurate reading depends upon the strength of the field, the range scaling circuit is also coupled to circuitry which indicates the appropriate distance from the charged object at which the instrument must be held to provide an accurate measurement.

摘要： A panoramic electrostatic field sensor includes a central monitoring electrode for detecting an electrostatic field oriented about a 360.degree. arc peripheral thereto. An apertured housing is concentrically arranged about the monitoring electrode, the housing having circumferentially spaced windows through which the central electrode can "see" any electrostatic field radially disposed with respect to the sensor. A cylindrical shielding cap is rotated in the annular space between the monitoring electrode and the housing, the cap incorporating at least one slot to expose the monitoring electrode periodically to any fields viewed through the housing windows. Electronic means for measuring the voltage in response to the field detected is adapted to activate a static neutralizer for emission of positive and negative ions into the field or to actuate a variety of peripheral indicating or triggering devices which provide signals, alarms or readout functions.
