Notes:
A hydraulic apparatus used to generate electrical power inside a 280-kV ion accelerator terminal is described. In this system, pressurized hydraulic oil flows through insulating hoses, transferring fluid power between ground and the high-voltage terminal. A maximum of 750 W was generated with the present equipment. Leakage current along the hydraulic-fluid lines was recorded as a function of time for an applied voltage of 280 kV. This current initially rose at an average rate of about 8 μA/min, reaching a maximum of about 760 μA within 2 h. Beyond 2 h, leakage current slowly decreased with time.
