Problems of the stability of the output parameters of self-excited electrostatic generators during prolonged continuous operation
Abstract
Small/miniature self-excited electrostatic generators (ESG), whose design concept and fundamental characteristics are described, is intended for continuous operation for several hours for active or capacitive load, whose value for this time is changed over the wide limits. However, the results, described are obtained during the relatively short-term modes/conditions of the work of generator and give representation only about the maximum possibilities of generator. In mode/conditions of continuous prolonged operation, fundamental characteristic, determining the possibility of practical use/application of self-excited generator, is stability of output parameters, i.e., degree of change in voltage/stress and current of load in dependence on operating time of generator. Purpose of this work is explanation of degree of stability of output parameters in mode/conditions of continuous prolonged operation and reasons, which call their change, which will make it possible to refine recommendations regarding construction of self-excited ESG and to determine optimum mode of their operation.
