Abstract
An electrophotographic apparatus employs an alternating current corona discharge apparatus for the purpose of forming an electrostatic image on a photosensitive member. The alternating current corona discharge apparatus has a transformer for transforming or stepping up the alternating current source voltage, the secondary winding of which is connected to the ground at one end. The secondary winding is shunted by a series connection of a first plurality of varistors. A smaller second plurality of series connected varistors selected from the first plurality of series connected varistors are shunted by a first diode-resistor series connection of a diode with the cathode on the ground side and a variable resistor and a smaller and third plurality of different series connected varistors selected from the first plurality of series connected varistors are shunted by a second diode-resistor series connection of a diode with the anode on the ground side and a variable resistor. The non-grounded end of the secondary winding is connected to a wire electrode of the corona discharge apparatus and the grounded end of the secondary winding is connected to a shield plate enclosing the wire electrode.
