Voltage doubler, for capacitor charging



Original poster: "Jim Mora" <jmora@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello All,

I have a 15/120 (dual) NST power supply. I like this circuit and think it would be a good place to get my $200 worth of the Maxwell .03uf/30kv caps. The final cap would be an MMC to reach .015uf 4x input rating. I have 400K in series with the charging circuit which will limit the current demand to .11a something @ ~45 KV

The catch is the grounded output of the NST. Could I run the NST?s floating or will that stress the windings? And then there is neutral? any ideas anyone. Everything else will be at ground. Caps other PS etc. I don?t want to stress these NST?s as I bought then new and know there history. Although I would like to use them! A Dry 5KVA Potential took them out of service on my 8? coil which is going through metamorphosis.

Thanks,
Jim Mora
