In der F i g. 2 ist dargestellt, wie durch die galvanische Trennung der beiden Übertragerseiten und die Erdung der Sekundärseite des Übertragers im Operationsraum bei 21 die genannten Störungen des Meßgerätes vermieden sind.In FIG. 2 shows how the galvanic separation of the two transmitter sides and the Grounding of the secondary side of the transformer in the operating room at 21 the above-mentioned disturbances of the measuring device are avoided.

Bei leistungsstarken Hochfrequenz-Chirurgiegeräten ist es Vorschrift, daß die Verbindung der neutralen Elektrode mit dem Hochfrequenz-Chirurgiegerät durch eine Sicherheitsschaltung überwacht wird. Beim Betrieb einer solchen Schutzschaltung mit Wechselstrom entsteht durch den Spannungsabfall über die notwendige Zuleitung zur neutralen Elektrode eine 50 Hz-Brummspannung gegen Erde, die die Registriergeräte ebenfalls erheblich stören kann. Bei dem die Erfindung aufweisenden Hochfrequenz-Chirurgiegerät wird daher die Sicherheitsschaltung mit gesiebter Gleichspannung betrieben. Die entsprechende Schaltung ist in der F i g. 3 dargestellt: Dabei ist die mit der neutralen Elektrode 10 verbundene Sekundärseite des Übertragers 6 bei 21 geerdet. Der Transformator 22, der aus einer im Generatorgehäuse 1 untergebrachten 50 Hz-Wechselspannungsquelle gespeist wird (nicht dargestellt), arbeitet auf den Gleichrichter23 mit Glättungskondensator24, der einerseits bei 21 geerdet ist und andererseits über das Relais 25 über die Buchse 26 der geerdeten neutralen Elektrode verbunden ist. Wenn die Elektrode 10 versehentlich oder z. B. wegen einer schadhaften Zuleitung nicht geerdet ist, fällt das Relais 25 ab und verhindert über einen Steuerkontakt, daß der Hochfrequenzgenerator eingeschaltet werden kann.In the case of powerful high-frequency surgical devices, it is a requirement that the connection of the neutral Electrode with the high-frequency surgical device is monitored by a safety circuit. At the Operation of such a protective circuit with alternating current occurs due to the voltage drop across the necessary supply line to the neutral electrode a 50 Hz ripple voltage to earth, which the recording devices can also be very disturbing. In the high-frequency surgical device having the invention the safety circuit is therefore operated with filtered DC voltage. The corresponding Circuit is shown in FIG. 3: The secondary side connected to the neutral electrode 10 is shown of the transformer 6 grounded at 21. The transformer 22, which consists of a generator housing 1 housed 50 Hz AC voltage source is fed (not shown), works on the rectifier23 with smoothing capacitor 24, which is grounded on the one hand at 21 and on the other hand via the relay 25 is connected via the socket 26 of the grounded neutral electrode. If the electrode 10 accidentally or z. B. is not grounded because of a defective lead, the relay 25 drops out and prevents via a control contact that the high-frequency generator can be switched on.
