AI Thread Summary

Building or purchasing a 10kV flyback transformer that operates on 2 watts or less is theoretically possible, especially at lower frequencies. The transformer must effectively charge the stray capacitance each cycle to function correctly. For a DC output, using rectifiers for each secondary winding layer could achieve the desired 10kV DC. However, practical implementation may present challenges that need to be addressed. Overall, while feasible, careful consideration of design and operating conditions is essential.

Is it possible to build/purchase a 10kV (nominal) flyback transformer which runs on about 2 Watt or less?

Carl Pugh

The flyback has to charge the stray capacitance every cycle.
If you operate at a low enough frequency, then 2 watt is possible. (practical?)
If you want DC output, it may be possible to have rectifiers for each secondary winding layer and obtain 10 kv DC.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
