Re: Stiff 24kv DC Power Supply, Filter Caps

Jim,

Most of the layouts I've seen have the smaller value cap near the 
load, but since you are driving a coil you may want to reverse this 
so you can dump more power into the primary each bang.

Hello All,

Having said all that, here's my question: I have a 1mf 40kv bank
(with bleeders) and a 4mf 40kv bank(with bleeders) full bleed time
will be necessarily one minute because of the power involved. The
power supply has a 150H (R=800ohms) Filter Choke on the output.

I can't remember, from way back, which side of the choke gets the
larger value of capacitance. I'm certain that it effects the ripple
cancellation. I do seem to remember that the cap ratio was 8 to one;
but, this is already lethal enough, so 4 is good for me. Can anybody
give me some guidance taking into consideration the gap running
asynchronously (maybe a misnomer in DC) and the primary cap drain at
various BPS'???

As Always, Thanks for your help,
Jim Mora
