High Voltage Power Supply for ESPs

This document summarizes the operation and components of a high voltage power supply for electrostatic precipitators. It operates by applying a negative voltage to emitting electrodes to ionize gases and charge dust particles, which are then attracted to grounded collecting plates. The power supply must maintain a voltage close to the sparking voltage to maximize efficiency while avoiding arcs. It consists of a step-up transformer, rectifier, control cabinet, thyristor variator, and regulator to adjust the voltage based on operating conditions and detected sparks or arcs.
