Universal High Voltage Modular Power Supply

This “sweetheart” of a circuit has many features that can make it a priceless tool for the high voltage researcher and experimenter. Circuit operates on 11 to 15 volts DC drawing 3 amps under full load allowing portable battery or 115 volts AC via a converter.

Out put voltage is a 60 kHz high frequency current that is fully short circuit protected. The high frequency also makes possible low storage energy voltage multiplier stacks for high voltage dc sources as well as being an excellent plasma driver when used direct. Output current is fully adjustable via a control pot. Unit is excellent for powering neon and all types of gas filled vessels using one or two electrodes or can power objects simply by proximity.

It easily retrofits to our voltage multipliers modules providing DC voltages up to 100 kv and currents of up to .3 milliampere. The current limiting and control feature make this combination an excellent choice for charging capacitors for low loss charging and 12 volt portable operation.

Also an excellent choice for powering large and small anti gravity craft and other applications requiring a high voltage current controlled source.

Module is built on a rugged printed circuit board and is mounted in a plastic channel. Complete with input and out put leads.
  • Open circuit voltage to 7500 peak at 60 to 125 kHz
  • Short circuit current.............10 ma
  • Short circuit protected
  • Input 11 to 15 volts DC at 3 amps fully loaded
  • Adjustable current by duty cycle controlled pulse
  • 7” output leads
