high voltage power supply

high voltage power supply

high voltage power supply

(OP)
Hi all,

I going to design a power supply with 6KV / 700uA (<30mv ripple) output and 10 Volts DC input?
its based on push-pull transistor driver for ferrite transformer input and a N stage (diode-capcacitor pump) voltage mltiplier?
How can I calculate capacitance of capacitors & number of stages?

Rgards,
John

RE: high voltage power supply

"<30 mV ripple" on 6 kV is relatively quite low. Probably do-able, but you'll certainly need to pay it some attention. I guess the low current would help.

I assume if you Google 'voltage multiplier' and variations you should be able to find some good info. Adding .pdf to the search terms often helps in floating better info up to the top.

RE: high voltage power supply

30mV ripple is very hard to do with a conventional stabiliser, almost impossible from a multiplier. You might manage it with a multistage LC filter but very expensive and bulky.

Regarding "multistage LC filter but very expensive and bulky", please be informed that www.ultravolt.com provide a similar one "6A12-P4-F-M-C" with only 51x127x29mm dim.

RE: high voltage power supply

Then... why not buy one from them?

I before had an experience in design HV PS. Here I prefer to do it.

RE: high voltage power supply

It would seem that the part you quote does not quite meet your spec, you also need a 6kv output capacitor. You wont get your home built supply anywhere near as small as theirs. You should take scottys advice.

RE: high voltage power supply

What's it feeding? CRT, photomultiplier?

Nowdays, The high voltage ceramic capcitores provided with coin dimentions.
