Abstract
The high voltage distribution system for the xerographic coronodes (dicorotrons) in these devices and products using them have been the source of much distress due to the following items: a) EME, EMI, and other electrical noise; b) non-reproductability of high voltage harnessing from machine-to-machine and from time-to-time within machines; c) early failure of wiring due to unwanted electrical discharges and unwanted mechanical interference with moving belts and sharp sheet metal edges.

The high voltage distribution system for the xerographic coronodes (dicorotrons) in these devices and products using them have been the source of much distress due to the following items: a) EME, EMI, and other electrical noise; b) non-reproductability of high voltage harnessing from machine-to- machine and from time-to-time within machines; c) early failure of wiring due to unwanted electrical discharges and unwanted mechanical interference with moving belts and sharp sheet metal edges.
It is proposed to put the high voltage coronode distributing harness within the ozone collection system. By combination of the ozone collection system and the high voltage coronode distribution harness that the ozone ducts would serve as conduits for the high voltage distribution at no increase in cost.
