High-voltage converter - a lab power supply from 0...10000 V

30 V Given a 30 V power supply the circuit described can deliver a high voltage are connected as an astable multi- vibrator (AMV), and drive the darlington configuration T1/T2 with a low current flow (determined by R4) through the transistors, they cannot be saturated, resulting in a fast cutoff. The extremely fast switching of the transistors produces a pulse of approximately 300 V in the primary winding of Trl. This voltage is then stepped up in proportion to the number of secondary windings. The first version (type 1) of the circuit uses half-wave rectification. Type 2 is high-voltage converter ranging from 0 to 3 kV (type 11, or from 0 ... 10 kV (type 2). N1 ... N3 20 kHz squarewave signal. Due to the a lab power supply from 0 . 10000 V 0 V ... 3 kV 0 kV 10 kV E. St6hr simply a cascade rectifier out of an old T.V. set. Version 2 delivers a voltage three times higher than version 1 because the cascade rectifier acts as a voltage multiplier (3X). IC2 regulates the output volta...
