International ClassH02H 007/16AbstractA capacitive power supply having a charge equalization circuit. The charge equalization circuit is comprised of a shunt circuit connected in a parallel connection with capacitive elements of the capacitive power supply. Once a charging current is applied to the capacitive power supply to store charge thereupon to form thereby a potential difference across the capacitive elements of a pre-determined level, the shunt circuit forms a shunt to shunt the charging current thereto. | |
