Say there is a multiplier whose sine wave input is 1 kV, 50 kHz, output should be 10 kV, 100uA. The high frequency means a fast diode should be used (low reverse recovery time trr). However, it seems the availability of fast high-voltage diodes is…

I am building a voltage multiplier Cockroft-Walton circuit that produces around 120 kV output voltage with 15 kV input voltage (initially 250 V is stepped up to 15 kV using transformer). I have not been able find a resource that guides me on the…

I am studying the Cockcroft–Walton generator and one question comes to mind. Let's say we have a load consuming every watts the generator can provide. Would it be wrong to state that the generator would need to disconnect it's output from the load…
