What to do with an extremely high voltage transformer and power supply… what to do… what to do… Short it out Jacob’s Ladder style of course! Fresh from ...

It’s not entirely clear why [Advanced Tinkering] needs a 50,000-volt power supply, but given the amount of work he put into this one, we’re going to guess it will be something interesting. The stated ...

Designing a high-voltage switching power supply that can produce a sustained arc can be challenging. This compact and efficient design delivers 1 kV at 20W and can withstand a continuous arcing, or ...

High-energy arcing faults or flashes are high-power electrical discharges between two or more conductors; they can release tens of thousands of amps of current and occur very quickly. They can also ...

Sponsored by Digi-Key and TDK: High-voltage switching can be a headache in applications ranging from automotive to energy, but high-reliability contactors offer a rescue plan. When designing equipment ...
