Re: [TCML] ideas needed for using 3 SMPS NSTs (10 kV, 30 mA)

One thing that comes to mind would be to rectify the output and use this to(for lack of a better term)spray charge the lower portion of a large Van DeGraaff generator.This boosts the available current greatly.Pretty sure these units could survive that application. Just a thought. Wyatt

Hello,

 

I have 3 "solid state" SMPS NSTs (10 kV, 30 mA) and was looking for a
"useful" application for them - any bright ideas? Anything that makes sparks
or smells of ozone is deemed useful.

It says "cool neon" Neon Power Supply, E217776 made in China
Input is 120VAC 50/60Hz 0.9A, Output is 10kV 30mA but no frequency given.
Note the output watts are higher than input watts - I assume the 30mA are
not at 10kV

 

They don't look very good for powering a Jacob's ladder - there is a short
circuit protection that switches off pretty rapidly as arcing occurs

 

Many thanks

 

Thomas
