hello,
I am trying to operate a small travelling wave tube amplifier requiring 2.497KV (2.5KV) power supply. I am unaware of the current but the tube is about 30cm long so I suspect this does not draw much current.
I would like any suggestions for such a power supply
I also have a microwave oven power supply, maybe I could use it's transformer-diode-capacitor combination to save cost?
Good approatch,
I was thinking something like this **broken link removed** **broken link removed**
I would like to see if I can make a cheaper one using a microwave oven transformer. The problem is that since high voltages are involved, I cannot measure them with the multimeter
Hejj OM,
Of course; you can measure it, then you has surly a lot of xxxMOhm, 1% resistors?
All typical resistor has 2-300V (SMD 1206=150V,mosten) working voltage, you can build your home browed HV-Tip...
