Hi all, I am very please to see not everyone sticks to a 12 volt maximum supply voltage :-)) One though that occurs to me is that if one side of the MO transformer is grounded in oven service........one ought to check that the winding as a whole is sufficiently well insulated from ground to stand floating 2kV above ground. There may not be the same clearance /insulation on the grounded end of the secondary as the intended high-voltage end?? On the other hand it might be quite OK. I have a certain cynicism about "consumer designs".

So they are powered, more or less, with a constant current source rather than a constant voltage source. In other words, the "generator" (transformer) must have a large source impedance, and that's what the magnetic bypass in the 'former does. Cheers, Wolf . |
