HIGH-VOLTAGE GENERATION DEVICE AND X-RAY GENERATION DEVICE

摘要

Increasingly miniaturizing a Cockcroft-Walton high-voltage generation device carries the risk of discharges from connection points between components, i.e. insufficient insulation reliability. This Cockcroft-Walton circuit (1) comprises series-connected capacitors (2a-1 through 2a-4 and 2b-1 through 2b-4), each of which has end electrodes (22) at both ends. One capacitor (2a-1) and a capacitor (2a-2) adjacent thereto in series are electrically connected at a connection point (7a-1). Said connection point (7a-1) is positioned so as not to protrude outside a first space (9) between the end electrodes (22) on said capacitors (2a-1 and 2a-2). Said connection point (7a-1) is also electrically connected to the anode of one diode (3a-1) and the cathode of another diode (3b-1).
