Hi,
I want to generate high voltage DC upto 3 kV or more.Can some one propose different methods or techniques through which i can generate this much voltage.
input can be either DC or AC.
thanks
 

One method I saw on a TV show used a bank of high-voltage capacitors charged up in parallel, then simultaneously switched them into sereis to create the arc. I've also seen capacitive voltage doubler circuits. Those could be cascaded to create an HV node. Google to find circuit examples.
 

maxwell circuit and so will help u
 


excuse me, about the capacitor banks.. how do you switch it into series when it is fully charged? diodes maybe? but i need cap banks for dc application for my charging circuit tnx
