Re: [TCML] Voltage/power dissapation drop across HV DC current limiting resistors.



A nonrectified flyback would make a good power supply for a hairy Cockroft-Walton. If you do hose the diodes, you will lose about 20% of the output voltage due to the increased capacitance in the secondary. Usually the secondary is divided into four parts with the diodes between them in a big series string.

I'm not sure why you don't want the rectified flybacks. You could just
power two of them from (separate) batteries or isolated PSUs and then
series the HV output, grounding the center tap. Then you'd have a positive
and a negative high voltage, low current output. I'd use a 555 oscillator
as opposed to a ZVS for to power them for this purpose.

Hey--I forgot to mention that there are four fectifiers in each unit.
Most units have had the fectifiers replaced with rectifiers. Best not to do
tech writing too late at noght.

Hi Mat; I have 2 flybacks but do not know how to identify weather they
are old style or newer style, I have had them for a long time.

Matt,

The large majority of potted flyback transformers available these days
have integral rectifiers built in, because they were intended for use on
CRTs.  If they have a long lead with a round anode cap on it, it's safe to
assume that it has a rectifier in it.

It's quite hard to find flybacks without rectifiers in them these days,
unless you can find very old ones from tube TV sets.  Those sets used
vacuum tube 1B3 rectifier tubes, 'cause effective solid state rectifiers
weren't available at the time.

The old flybacks without rectifiers tend to command high prices when you
can find them on eBay.

Removing the rectifiers from an epoxy potted flyback without destroying
the hair-fine end of the HV winding is a very difficult proposition.

This is correct I am building a 'tandem' VDG using both positive and
negative polarities. I picked up two of those HV negative ION generators
just because they were so cheap and I can mess around and see what I
get.

I though about picking up some flybacks but they don't say anything
about
having a built-in diode and I don't think it's easy to remove them. I
didn't see this deal and already ordered the ion generators, maybe I'll
check these out if the ion generators don't work as expected.

Thanks again for all the info it's been very useful.
