Hi All,		

Has anyone ever tried to make a transformer that just doubles high
voltage.

For example, converting 8000v to 16000v.

I was thinking about my 4 mot supply and wondered if this was a way to
get higher voltages without having to heavily ballast a 6 or 8 mot psu.

My guess is that it would only have to handle 500ma or so.


Any comments?



Regards

Justin.
