Bei Operationen mit solchen Apparaten treten mitunter Verbrennungenan verschiedenen, nicht im Operationsfeld liegenden und auch von der neutralen Elektrodefreien Körperstellen des Patienten auf, ohne daß es bislang möglich gewesen ist,die Ursache dieser Schädigungen zu klären. During operations with such devices, burns can occuron different electrodes that are not in the operating field and also on the neutral electrodefree parts of the patient's body without it being possible to dateto clarify the cause of this damage.

Der Erfindung liegen umfangreiche Überlegungen und Meßreihen zugrunde,die zur Erkenntnis der Ursache für die genannten Verbrennungen geführt haben. DieErfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, an Hand dieser Erkenntnis einen Hochfrequenz-Chirurgieapparatanzugeben, der mit Mitteln versehen ist, die derartige Verbrennungen vermeiden. The invention is based on extensive considerations and series of measurements,which led to the knowledge of the cause of the burns mentioned. theThe object of the invention is to use this knowledge to create a high-frequency surgical apparatusindicate that is provided with means to avoid such burns.

An Hand der Fig. 1 soll zunächst die Ursache für die Verbrennungenund danach in Verbindung mit den übrigen Figuren die Erfindung an Hand von Ausführungsbeispielenerläutert werden. With reference to Fig. 1, the cause of the burns should first beand then, in conjunction with the other figures, the invention on the basis of exemplary embodimentsexplained.

Fig. 1 zeigt das Ersatzschaltbild eines üblichen Hochfrequenz-Chirurgieapparatesin Verbindung mit dem Operationstisch und dem Patienten. Fig. 1 shows the equivalent circuit diagram of a conventional high-frequency surgical apparatusin connection with the operating table and the patient.

Von den übrigen Figuren veranschaulicht Fig. 2 das Ersatzschaltbildeines Hochfrequenz-Chirurgieapparates mit Mitteln zur Verhütung der vorgenanntenVerbrennungen, Fig. 3 die Ansicht eines Hochfrequenz-Chirurgieapparates in schematisierterDarstellung, der mit den Mitteln nach Fig. 2 zur Verbrennungsverhütung ausgerüstetist, Fig. 4 das Ersatzschaltbild eines Hochfrequenz-Chirurgieapparates mit eineranderen Anordnung der Mittel zur Verbrennungsverhütung. Of the remaining figures, FIG. 2 illustrates the equivalent circuit diagrama high-frequency surgical apparatus with means for preventing the aforementionedBurns, FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a high-frequency surgical apparatusRepresentation equipped with the means according to FIG. 2 for preventing combustionis, Fig. 4 is the equivalent circuit diagram of a high-frequency surgical apparatus with aanother arrangement of the means for preventing burns.

Die in den Figuren miteinander übereinstimmenden Teile sind dabeimit dem gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. The parts that correspond to one another in the figures are includedprovided with the same reference number.

Gemäß Fig. 1 bestehen zwischen dem Chirurgieapparat 1 mit dem Hochfrequenzgenerator2 und dem schematisch angedeuteten Patienten 3 drei verschiedene elektrische Verbindungswege.Der erste Verbindungsweg setzt sich aus der an den aktiven Pol 4 des Generatorsangeschlossenen Zuleitung 5 mit der Zuleitungsinduktivität 6 und der aktiven Chirurgieelektrode7 zusammen. Der zweite Verbindungsweg wird aus der an den inaktiven Pol 8 des Hochfrequenzgeneratorsbzw. die Masse des Gerätes angeschlossenen Verbindungsleitung9 mit der Zuleitungsinduktivität10 sowie der neutralen Elektrode 11 gebildet. According to Fig. 1 exist between the surgical apparatus 1 with the high-frequency generator2 and the schematically indicated patient 3 three different electrical connection paths.The first connection path consists of the one to the active pole 4 of the generatorconnected lead 5 with lead inductance 6 and the active surgical electrode7 together. The second connection path is made up of that to the inactive pole 8 of the high-frequency generatoror the ground of the device connected connecting line9 with the feed line inductance10 and the neutral electrode 11 are formed.

Der dritte Verbindungsweg schließlich besteht aus der Kapazität 12,die sich aus allen Einzelkapazitätenzwischen dem Patienten, dem Operationstischund dem übrigen Operationsraum zusammensetzt, der Erde 13 und der Induktivität 14.Letztere ist in der Praxis durch die Selbstinduktionen der einzelnen Leitungen imNetzanschlußkabel gegeben. Diese Selbstinduktionen sind netzseitig über die Installationskapazitätenmit der Erde und an ihren geräteseitigen Enden über die inneren Kapazitäten derNetzanschlußbauteile, beispielsweise über die Wicklungskapazitäten des Netztransformators,hochfrequenzmäßig einander parallel geschaltet, so daß sie als gemeinsame Induktivität14 wirksam sind. Die in Fig. 1 noch eingezeichnete Kapazität 15 bezeichnet die Kapazitätdes Apparategehäuses 1 gegen Erde und kann zunächst außer Betracht bleiben.Finally, the third connection path consists of the capacity 12,which results from all individual capacitiesbetween the patient and the operating tableand the rest of the operating room, the earth 13 and the inductance 14.In practice, the latter is due to the self-induction of the individual linesPower cord given. These self-inductions are on the network side beyond the installation capacitieswith the earth and at its device-side ends via the internal capacities of theMains connection components, for example via the winding capacities of the mains transformer,In terms of high frequency, they are connected in parallel with each other, so that they act as a common inductance14 are effective. The capacitance 15 still drawn in in FIG. 1 denotes the capacitanceof the apparatus housing 1 against earth and can initially be disregarded.

Die Ursache für die unerwünschten Verbrennungen liegt im letztgenanntenVerbindungsweg, und zwar besteht folgender Zusammenhang: Die Teile 9, 10 und 11des zweiten Verbindungsweges sowie der Patient 3 bilden zusammen mit den Teilen12, 13 und 14 des dritten Verbindungsweges einen geschlossenen Schwingkreis, dernach Maßgabe der elektrischen Werte der einzelnen genannten Teile eine bestimmteEigenfrequenz besitzt. Bei bestimmten räumlichen Anordnungen der einzelnen Teiledieses Kreises zueinander und gegenüber der Netzerde tritt der Fall ein, daß dieEigenfrequenz dieses Schwingkreises im Bereich der Arbeitsfrequenz des Generatorsliegt. In einem solchen Fall wird während des Operationsvorganges durch die demgenannten Schwingkreis und dem eigentlichen Arbeitskreis 5, 6, 7 gemeisame Induktivität10 der Zuleitung 9 zur neutralen Elektrode 11 in den Schwingkreis 9, 10, 11, 12,13 und 14 mit dem Patienten 3 Hochfrequenzenergie eingekoppelt. The cause of the undesired burns lies in the latterConnection path, namely the following relationship: Parts 9, 10 and 11of the second connection path as well as the patient 3 form together with the parts12, 13 and 14 of the third connection path form a closed resonant circuit, thedepending on the electrical values of the individual named parts a certainOwns natural frequency. With certain spatial arrangements of the individual partsof this circle to each other and to the network earth, the case occurs that theNatural frequency of this resonant circuit in the range of the operating frequency of the generatorlies. In such a case, the demmentioned resonant circuit and the actual working circuit 5, 6, 7 common inductance10 of the supply line 9 to the neutral electrode 11 in the oscillating circuit 9, 10, 11, 12,13 and 14 coupled with the patient 3 high frequency energy.

Dabei entstehen in diesem Schwingkreis Spannungen und Blindströme,die beträchtliche Werte annehmenkönnen und mitunter wesentlichhöher sind als die Spannungen und Ströme, die vom Generator 2 geliefert werden.Damit ist aber die Gefahr von unbeabsichtigten Verbrennungen an praktisch beliebigenKörperstellen des Patienten, zumeist aber an vorstehenden Körperteilen wie etwaHüftknochen und Steißbein gegeben.This creates voltages and reactive currents in this resonant circuit,which take on considerable valuescan and sometimes essentialare higher than the voltages and currents supplied by generator 2.But that means there is a risk of unintentional burns on practically anyBody parts of the patient, but mostly on protruding body parts such asHipbones and tailbone given.

Zur Vermeidung dieser Verbrennungen ist erfindungsgemäß, vorzugsweisean der Einführungsstelle des Netzanschlußkabels in den Apparat, in jeden Stromversorgungsleiterzum Generator und in den etwaigen Schutzleiter 18 je eine so bemessene Induktionsspule26, 27, 28 eingeschaltet, daß die Gesamtinduktivität der Parallelschaltung allerSpulen die maximal zwischen dem Schutzgehäuse und Erde vorhandene Kapazität 15 inder Größenordnung von etwa 50 bis 500 pF zu einem als Sperrkreis dienenden Schwingungskreisergänzt, der zumindest angenähert auf die Arbeitsfrequenz des Apparates abgestimmtist. Der gleiche Erfolg wird auch durch eine Abwandlung dieses Gerätes erzielt,die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß statt dessen mindestens eine der beiden Ausgangsklemmendes Hochfrequenzgenerators, vorzugsweise die Ausgangsklemme 8 für die inaktive Elektrode11, mit dem Metallgehäuse des Apparates bzw. einem Erdungsanschluß des Apparatesverbunden ist über eine Induktionsspule 54 bzw. According to the invention, it is preferred to avoid these burnsat the point of entry of the power cord into the apparatus, into each power supply conductorto the generator and in the possible protective conductor 18 each have such a dimensioned induction coil26, 27, 28 turned on that the total inductance of the parallel connection of allCoils have the maximum capacitance between the protective housing and earth 15 inof the order of magnitude of about 50 to 500 pF to a resonant circuit serving as a trap circuitsupplemented, which is at least approximately matched to the operating frequency of the apparatusis. The same success is achieved by a modification of this device,which is characterized in that instead at least one of the two output terminalsof the high-frequency generator, preferably the output terminal 8 for the inactive electrode11, with the metal housing of the apparatus or an earth connection of the apparatusis connected via an induction coil 54 or

57 solcher Induktivität, daß diese die zwischen dieser Ausgangsbuchse8bzw. 4 und dem Gerätegehäuse vorhandene Kapazität 55 bzw. 56 in der Größenordnungvon etwa 5 bis 50 pF zu einem Schwingungskreis ergänzt, der zumindest angenähertauf die Arbeitsfrequenz des Apparates abgestimmt ist, während die Stromversorgungsleitungenzum Generator unbeschaltet sind (Fig. 4). Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildungdes Gerätes werden die erwähnten Verbrennungen dadurch vermieden, daß infolge dergebildeten Schwingungskreise der Verbindungsweg über die Teile 12, 13, 14 und denPatienten 3 für die Arbeitsfrequenz des Gerätes hochohmig gemacht wird.57 such inductance that this is the between this output socket8or 4 and the device housing existing capacity 55 or 56 in the order of magnitudeof about 5 to 50 pF added to an oscillation circuit that at least approximatesis tuned to the working frequency of the apparatus, while the power supply linesare not connected to the generator (Fig. 4). Due to the training according to the inventionof the device, the mentioned burns are avoided in that as a result ofFormed oscillation circles of the connection path over the parts 12, 13, 14 and thePatient 3 is made high-resistance for the operating frequency of the device.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 sind die Leitungen des Netzanschlußkabelseinzeln eingezeichnet und mit 16, 17 und 18 bezeichnet. Die gemeinsame Kabelumhüllungist mit 19 bezeichnet. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the lines of the power cord areindividually drawn in and labeled 16, 17 and 18. The common cable sheathis denoted by 19.

Hierbei stellen die Leitungen 16 und 17 die stromführenden Leitungenund die Leitungl8 die sogenannte Schutzleitung für die Schutzerdung des Gerätegehäusesdar. Die Leitungen 16 und 17 sind mit den Steckern 20 und 21, die Schutzleitungmit dem Erdstecker 23 versehen, welcher mit dem Schutzkontakt 25 in Steckverbindungsteht, während die Stecker 20 und 21 an den aus Vereinfachungsgründen nicht mitgezeichneten Anschlußbuchsen des Stromversorgungsnetzes oder auch einer Batterieanlage(z. B. bei Fahrzeuganlagen) in Steckverbindung stehen. Die in Fig. 1 mit 14 bezeichnetegemeinsame Induktivität ist in Fig. 2 in die Teilinduktivitäten 14 a, 14 b und 14caufgeteilt. In Serie zu diesen sind bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Gerät zusätzlich dieInduktionsspulen 26, 27 und 28 eingeschaltet, deren Induktivität wesentlich größerist als der Wert der Induktivitäten 14 a bis 14 c. Durch den Hochfrequenzwiderstanddieser Induktivitäten läßt sich der Widerstand des Verbindungsweges 12 bis 14 soweit erhöhen, daß unbeabsichtigte Hochfrequenzverbrennungen unwahrscheinlich sind.Ein größerer Effekt wird jedoch erzielt, wenn die Induktionsspulen 26 bis28 im Sinneder Erfindung in ihrem Selbstinduktionswert so bemessen sind, daß ihre Parallelschaltungmit der Kapazität 15 des Gerätegehäuses 1 gegen Erde etwa einen Parallelschwingkreisbildet, der auf die Arbeitsfrequenz des Apparates abgestimmt ist. Hierdurch wirdein Sperrkreis gebildet, der den Gesamtwiderstand des Verbindungsweges 12 bis 14gegenüber dem Wert bei Weglassung der Spulen 26 bis 28 wesentlich (mehrere Zehnerpotenzen)erhöht. Es ist offensichtlich, daß unter derartigen Bedingungen kein für eine Verbrennunghinreichender Stromfluß über die Kapazität 12 bzw. keine zu Überschlägen Anlaß gebendeSpannung über die Kapazität 12 entstehen kann. Um unerwünschte Eigenresonanzen derSpulen 26, 27 und 28 zu verhindern, sind ihre Anfänge oder ihre Enden oder auchbeides durch die Kapazitäten 29, 30 und/oder 31, 32 hochfrequenzmäßig miteinanderverbunden.The lines 16 and 17 represent the current-carrying linesand the line l8 the so-called protective line for the protective grounding of the device housingThe lines 16 and 17 are connected to the plugs 20 and 21, the protective lineprovided with the earth plug 23, which with the protective contact 25 in plug connectionstands, while the plugs 20 and 21 are not connected to the for reasons of simplicityDrawn connection sockets of the power supply network or a battery system(e.g. in vehicle systems) are plugged in. The designated in Fig. 1 with 14common inductance is in Fig. 2 in the partial inductances 14 a, 14 b and 14 cdivided up. In series with these are in the device according to the invention in additionInduction coils 26, 27 and 28 switched on, the inductance of which is much greateris than the value of the inductances 14 a to 14 c. Due to the high frequency resistanceThese inductances can be the resistance of the connection path 12 to 14 sofar increase that inadvertent high frequency burns are unlikely.However, a greater effect is achieved when the induction coils 26 to28 in the senseof the invention are so dimensioned in their self-induction value that their parallel connectionwith the capacity 15 of the device housing 1 to earth about a parallel resonant circuitforms, which is matched to the operating frequency of the apparatus. This willa blocking circuit is formed, the total resistance of the connection path 12 to 14compared to the value when coils 26 to 28 are omitted (several powers of ten)elevated. It is evident that under such conditions there is none for combustionSufficient current flow through the capacitance 12 or no cause for flashoversVoltage across the capacitance 12 can arise. To avoid unwanted natural resonance of theTo prevent coils 26, 27 and 28 are their beginnings or their ends or elseboth through the capacitances 29, 30 and / or 31, 32 in terms of high frequenciestied together.

Besonders zweckmäßige Verhältnisse werden geschaffen, wenn man dieSpulen 26 bis 28 so groß wählt, daß ihre Parallelschaltung zusammen mit dem größtenin der Praxis vorkommenden Wert der Kapazität 15 eine Eigenfrequenz ergibt, dieetwas unterhalb der Arbeitsfrequenz des Generators liegt. Hierdurch wird erreicht,daß auf jeden Fall der Widerstand der Parallelschaltung: Netzzuleitung und Kapazität15 kapazitiv bleibt, so daß unter keiner der in der Praxis vorkommenden Bedingungenein frequenzmäßig in die Nähe der Arbeitsfrequenz kommender Schwingungskreis überdie Erde 13 entstehen kann. Particularly expedient conditions are created when you have theCoils 26 to 28 choose so large that their parallel connection together with the largestThe value of the capacitance 15 occurring in practice results in a natural frequency whichis slightly below the operating frequency of the generator. This achievesthat in any case the resistance of the parallel connection: mains lead and capacitance15 remains capacitive, so that under none of the conditions occurring in practicean oscillation circuit that comes close to the working frequency in terms of frequencythe earth 13 can arise.

Die Spulen 26 bis 28 sind an sich in bekannter Weise aufgebaut. Wegendes Stromflusses in den Leitungen 16 und 17 sind die Spulen 26 und 27 als Luftspulenausgeführt, die in der Schutzleitung 18 liegende Spule ist dagegen mit einem Hochfrequenzeisenkernversehen. Es ist daher zweckmäßig, den Spulen 26 bis 28 jeweils nicht die gleicheInduktivität zu geben, sondern die Spule 28 so zu bemessen, daß ihre Selbstinduktivitätwesentlich größer ist als diejenige der Spulen 26 bzw. 27. Auf diese Weise lassensich die stromführenden Spulen 26 und 27 wesentlich kleiner und daher mit geringeremohmschem Widerstand aufbauen als bei gleicher Bemessung aller Spulen. In einem praktischausgeführten Beispiel wurde eine maximale Kapazität 15 des Gerätes 1 gegen Erdevon 250 pF gemessen und dementsprechend die Spulen 26 und 27 zu je 80 FH und dieSpule 28 zu 9001lH gewählt. Bei gleicher Dimension aller drei Spulen müßte jedeSpule zu 1201lH gewählt werden. The coils 26 to 28 are constructed in a known manner. Becauseof the current flow in the lines 16 and 17, the coils 26 and 27 are air-core coilsexecuted, the coil lying in the protective line 18, however, is with a high-frequency iron coreMistake. It is therefore expedient for the coils 26 to 28 not to be the same in each caseTo give inductance, but to size the coil 28 so that its self-inductanceis much larger than that of the coils 26 or 27. Leave in this waythe current-carrying coils 26 and 27 are much smaller and therefore with lessbuild up ohmic resistance than with the same dimensioning of all coils. In a practicalThe example carried out was a maximum capacity 15 of the device 1 to earthof 250 pF measured and accordingly the coils 26 and 27 each with 80 FH and theCoil 28 chosen to be 9001lH. If all three coils have the same dimensions, each would have toCoil of 1201lH can be chosen.

Für eine sichere Funktionsweise sind die Spulen 26 bis 28 in unmittelbarerNähe der Einführungsstelle des Netzkabels im Apparat anzubringen. Die Anbringungkann hierbei im Inneren des Gerätes oder auch außerhalb, beispielsweise auch nachträglich,z. B. in einem kleinen Anbaukasten, erfolgen. Ferner soll das Netzanschlußkabelso in das Gerätegehäuse eingeführt sein, daß keine nennenswerten Kapazitäten zwischenseinen Leitungen und dem Gerätegehäuse bestehen. The coils 26 to 28 are in the immediate vicinity for reliable operationPlace near the point where the power cord enters the apparatus. The attachmentcan be done inside the device or outside it, for example afterwards,z. B. in a small add-on box. Furthermore, the power cord shouldso inserted into the device housing that no significant capacities betweenits cables and the device housing.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 wurde die Anordnung der Spulen26 bis 28 innerhalb des Gerätegehäuses 33 mit den Laufrollen 34, 35, 36, dem Handgriff37, dem Leistungsregler 38, dem Stromartwahlschalter 39, dem Anzeigeinstrument 40und der Signallampe 41 gewählt. Die Netzzuleitung 19 ist durch ein in einer Aussparungder Geräterückwand 42 eingesetztes Isolierstotfbrettchen 43 kapazitätsarmindas Innere des Gerätes geführt. Die Spulen 26 bis 28, an welche die Leitungen 16,17 und 18 des Netzkabels in nicht gezeichneter Weise angeschlossen sind, sind nahebei der Einführungsstelle dieses Kabels mittels Isolierstofbrettchen 44 und 45 sowieWinkelmetallstücken 46 und 47 an einer senkrechten Trennwand 48 befestigt. Die anderenEnden der Spulen 26 bis 28 sind an Lötösen 49, 50 und 51 geführt, die in dem Isolierstoffbrettchen45 sitzen und an die das zu den Netzanschlußbauteilen des Gerätes führende Kabel53 angeschlossen ist. Es ist selbstverständlich nicht erforderlich, daß die Spulen26 bis 28, wie gezeichnet, als unterteilte Zylinderspulen aufgebaut sind; sie könnenvielmehr in jeder bekannten Art ausgeführt sein, beispielsweise als Scheiben- oderals Kreuzwickelspulen. In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the arrangement of the coils26 to 28 within the device housing 33 with the rollers 34, 35, 36, the handle37, the power regulator 38, the type of current selector switch 39, the display instrument 40and the signal lamp 41 is selected. The power supply line 19 is through a recessthe rear wall 42 of the device inserted is a small insulating board 43 of low capacityinthe inside of the device. The coils 26 to 28, to which the lines 16,17 and 18 of the power cord are connected in a manner not shown are closeat the insertion point of this cable by means of insulating boards 44 and 45 as wellAngle metal pieces 46 and 47 attached to a vertical partition wall 48. The othersEnds of the coils 26 to 28 are guided to solder lugs 49, 50 and 51, which are in the insulating board45 sit and to the cable leading to the power supply components of the device53 is connected. It is of course not necessary that the coils26 to 28, as drawn, are constructed as divided solenoid coils; you canrather be designed in any known way, for example as a disc oras cross-wound bobbins.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt eine abgewandelte Ausführung der Erfindung, beider die Netzanschlußleitungen ohne zusätzliche Beschaltung in das Geräteinnere undan die Netzanschlußbauteile geführt sind; die Selbstinduktivitäten der Netzleitungensind daher, analog zu Fig. 1, wieder als resultierende Induktivität 14 dargestellt.Im Unterschied zum Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 2 ist hier der Hochfrequenzgenerator2 mit seinem für die neutrale Elektrode bestimmten Anschluß nicht unmittelbar andas Gerätegehäuse angeschlossen. Vielmehr erfolgt dies unter Zwischenschaltung einerSelbstinduktionsspule 54. Diese soll mit der Kapazität 55 des der Buchse 8 zugeordnetenAusgangs des Hochfrequenzgenerators gegen das Gerätegehäuse einen Schwingkreis bildenund ist im übrigen nach denselben Gesichtspunkten zu bemessen wie die resultierendeInduktivität der Spulen 26 bis 28 bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 2. Bei der Ausführungnach Fig.4 ist ferner die Leitung9, wie gezeichnet, isoliert in das Geräteinnerezu führen. Fig. 4 shows a modified embodiment of the invention, inthe mains connection lines into the interior of the device and without additional wiringare led to the network connection components; the self-inductance of the power linesare therefore shown again as the resulting inductance 14, analogously to FIG. 1.In contrast to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2, the high-frequency generator is here2 with its connection intended for the neutral electrode is not directly connected to itconnected to the device housing. Rather, this is done with the interposition of aSelf-induction coil 54. This should with the capacitance 55 of the socket 8 assignedForm the output of the high-frequency generator against the device housing an oscillating circuitand is otherwise to be measured according to the same criteria as the resulting oneInductance of the coils 26 to 28 in the embodiment according to FIG. 2. In the embodimentAccording to FIG. 4, the line 9, as drawn, is also isolated into the interior of the devicerespectively.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 4 kann es mitunter zweckmäßig sein, auchdie Kapazität 56 des der Anschlußbuchse 4 zugeordneten Ausganges zu kompensieren.Dies erfolgt auf analoge Weise wie bei dem der Buchse 8 zugeordneten Ausgang mitder Induktionsspule 57. In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, it can sometimes also be expedientto compensate for the capacitance 56 of the output associated with the connection socket 4.This is done in the same way as with the output assigned to socket 8the induction coil 57.

Der Vorteil der Ausführung nach Fig. 4 liegt im geringeren Aufwand,da einerseits weniger Induktionsspulen erforderlich sind und andererseits die Spulenin ihren Abmessungen kleiner gewählt werden können, da keine Netzleistung durchsie fließt. Ferner kann diese Anordnung auch bei Chirurgiegeräten eingesetzt werden,bei denen die Stromversorgungseinrichtung im Gerät eingebaut ist (z. B. in Formeiner Akkumulatorenbatterie) und bei denen der hochfrequente Verbindungsweg desGenerators über dieKapazität 15 zur Erde besonders hochohmig gemacht werden soll. The advantage of the embodiment according to FIG. 4 is the lower cost,because, on the one hand, fewer induction coils are required and, on the other hand, the coilscan be chosen smaller in their dimensions, since no network power throughit flows. Furthermore, this arrangement can also be used in surgical devices,where the power supply is built into the device (e.g. in the forman accumulator battery) and where the high-frequency connection path of theGenerator over theCapacity 15 to earth is to be made particularly high-resistance.
