Overview of the ST-1 Series, ST-2 Shunt and BT-1 Bias termination options for the HV1000. These terminators facilitate driving capacitive loads such as grids and deflection plates with the HV1000 pulse generator.

DC power supplies of the same polarity (i.e. both positive or both negative polarity) may be used for the Pulse and Bias DC supply inputs of the GRX, PVX-41XX and PVM-41XX pulse generators. However most high voltage DC power supplies cannot regulate voltages of the same polarity from a separate source. To operate with power supplies of common polarity, the bias, or lower voltage (-HV or V_LOW) supply must be provided with an additional current flow path to ground. If this path is not provided, the output voltage may not remain at the -HV In potential when the pulse generator is not gated, but can be charged up to the potential of the V_HIGH (+HV In) supply. This technical note describes how to install a current path to ground to mitigate this problem.
