Some time ago I designed a 120 Kv SMPS for X-ray use. The transformer
and output rectifier was in oil in a molded glass-fibre box. If I ran it
with the lid off the oil would "jump" out the box at full voltage, and
circulate violently at a reduced voltage. A materials science professor
from a local university was also involved in the project and even he
could not explain why this happened. Anyone have any ideas?
