Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a high-voltage pulse system (), preferably a system () for the fragmenting and/or weakening of material () by means of high-voltage discharges, with an energy store () for providing the energy for the high-voltage pulses and a charging device () for charging the energy store (). According to the method, in the intended high-voltage pulse operation, a sequence of high-voltage pulses is generated with the system () and thereby the energy store () is discharged completely at each high-voltage pulse and is only after the expiry of a charging pause (LP) recharged again for the next high-voltage pulse by means of supplying charging energy with the charging device (). By means of the operating method according to the invention, a time window is created between two successive high-voltage pulses each, in which the energy store(s) are substantially completely discharged and no charging-voltage is applied. Thereby it becomes possible to short-circuit or earth the energy store (), respectively, without a short-circuiting or earthing current flowing thereby.
