i bought a 15kv 20ma at 20khz solid state neon transformer off ebay. i made a
voltage divider with a couple of 1 meg resistors and looked at it with an
oscilliscope. i was suprised to see that the voltage was sinusoidal. why is it
sinusoidal? i was guessing it would be square wave or maybe a pretty low
voltage with high voltage spikes, like in a flyback transformer. if it uses
resonance for at least some voltage gain it would be a sine wave but i dont see
how else it could put out sine waves(except for wasting a bunch of energy in
the switches).
