DocOc Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hello, I'm building a small DC circuit that takes a car battery and turns it into a high voltage, low amp pulse. It has a couple transformers in it that I am having trouble finding or finding parts for. One is a simple step up that would take a 22A, 300 V signal and convert to 220mA, 30000V. The other is really fancy, it involves a "standard half-cup ferrite core 36/22-341" and a "coil former 4322-021-30390." The secondary coil is center tapped, 380 turns.It has three primaries; two are wound together 9 turns, one is 4 turns and center tapped. I did find some 30guage enamel wire, but I'm not sure if I could use a toroid core or some other kind. Any suggestions for sources or substitutions?

audioguru Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi DocOc,Welcome to our forum. ;DYou are talking about 6600W you know. That's a lot of power, and a 12V car battery will blow-up with the circuit's 550A from it. What are you going to use to switch 550A into a transformer to step it up to 300V at 22A?If you ever manage to get 300V at 22A from somewhere, 30 guage wire would vaporise with 22A through it.I think the transformers' cores would saturate at such high currents.What do you have that uses 6600W at 30,000V?

ante Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 These pulses must be very short or smoke and acid splash will come from DocOc’s place!300V @ 22A...holy smoke! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocOc Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thank you for your replies. I think this circuit was the wrong direction for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
