High voltage DC to AC converter
High voltage DC to AC converter
(OP)
Hi, I'm working on a dust repulsion circuit that requires >3000VAC at about 5Hz. I know that there are florescent light bulb power supplies that go from 12DC to 1kV-->7kV. These are perfect except the output frequency is around 30kHz. I really need the 5Hz part. Any ideas? I would prefer something off the shelf for now for testing purposes. Later I will look into building a circuit that works with the right parameters.
Thanks,

Now suppose you could find a neon sign transformer rated at something like 240 volts 50Hz input, and 30 Kv at a few milliamps output.
Driven at only 5Hz, an input of 24 volts should produce 3Kv output at the same magnetic flux levels.
I have no idea if this is practical, but it would be about as close to an off the shelf solution that I can think of.
Perhaps you could borrow one to try?
