Microwave Oven Inverter PS, revealed

I ran across this interesting web site from someone looking to use the 4kV,300mA supply in a MW to run an amp. Schematics, lots of reverse engineering, etc.

Hmm.. 3 in series, if you could solve the voltage isolation issues, gives you 12kV @ 300mA.. 4kW is a healthy DC supply for a TC.

Looking at the schematic, it looks like it would be pretty easy to do it with some fairly standard line isolation transformers, (although, a 1kVA isolation transformer might be a bit hefty. Maybe sinking it in oil might provide enough primary/secondary isolation for T701?
