Re: Needed - Neon Transformer -Reply
Hi Marius,
I was hoping that they were grounded on one side and had a single 9kV lead
on the other. However, if they are two leaded center tapped types, as Jim
Monte says, you cannot really double their voltage. The idea is to run two
with the phases reversed and the cases grounded. Thus the one lead is at
+9kV while the one lead of the other is at -9kV. You should always be able
to add more of them to get more current. I know little about these so
perhaps I need to visit the local store. I'm in natural gas country so
they may not carry them :-( Apparently it takes a lot of juice to get oil
burners started!! If they are single lead types, I will draw up the
diagram and post it.
