RE: DC resonant charging

Herwig,

I was able to charge a cap bank to 20Kv using a capacitive discharge circuit
into a fullwave diode from a standard car 12volt coil. Accel makes a
discharge racing coil that is rated 50KV at 1 amp but I was unable to get it
to work well. Perhaps you could look into HEI setups?

Hi,

I am thinking of building a small DC resonant charging TC. As there
are no 15 kV NSTs available in this country, I need to look for
another source of HV.

How many mA of filtered DC could I expect to get from a standard 12 V
car ignition coil? Target DC voltage is 15 kV.

Any help is appreciated very much.




Bye             Herwig
