Resonant power supply circuit for ozone generators

摘要

An ozone generator is provided, with a resonant power circuit to energize the corona plates. The circuit includes a pair of transistors where the primary winding of the transformer acts as the collector load on each of the transistors. Additionally, two other transistors are provided for safety purposes to short the base signal of the power transistors if the power supply to the ozone generating plates gets too high. The circuit is resonant thereby requiring low power consumption. The resonant circuit takes full advantage of the characteristics of the transformer to quickly and efficiently energize the plates for the generation of corona for the purpose of creating ozone.
