Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplying circuit for slim hole well logging tool

摘要

A Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplying circuit constructed for use in a slim hole well logging tool includes a plurality of capacitor packages having a first capacitor package, adapted to receive an input voltage, and a last capacitor package. A plurality of high voltage rectifier packages of which each rectifier package, except for a last rectifier package, are physically as well as electrically interconnected with two capacitor packages. The last rectifier package is connected to the last capacitor package so that all of the capacitor packages and all of the rectifier packages form an inline rigid body. Output terminals are connected to the last rectifier package for providing the high voltage developed by the capacitor packages and the rectifier packages in response to a received input voltage.
