I used to have to use batteries for upper sections so always wondered how easy
it would be to make HV insulated xfmrs. Commercially I know some Cockroft
Walton generators used rf xfmrs in series. Each stage had a tap for the
filament. At 60 Hz would it be simpler to have HV insulation between pri. and
sec. of 120/5 volts or use std 120/5 volt xfmr and then add a HV insulated 5/5
volt series xfmr?
