[TCML] 20KV transformer ? (UK)

[Chris Swinson]

Hi Derek,

I am plotting a choke charge design. Was thinking of using 2 MOT in series 
to give around 5KV, then convert to 7KVDC or there abouts. Then using a RSG 
with a large choke to double to about 14KV..

40Kv sounds interesting, not sure I dare go that high, but could be 
interesting!

cheers,
Chris
