A power-supply system for electron guns with grid control is described which consists of a source of accelerating voltage between 20 and 180 kV with a current of 100 mA and a control circuit for an electron gun that contains a pulse generator having an output voltage of up to 5 kV for pulse durations of 2, 10, 50 and 90 microseconds. The output pulses of the generator are synchronized with a certain phase of the cathode heater current of the gun, and they can be repeated at a frequency between 100 and 0.4 Hz. The system is reliable and resistant to the overloads associated with breakdowns in the gun.
