SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of constructing or acquiring a 10kV flyback transformer capable of operating at 2 Watts or less. It is established that operating at a sufficiently low frequency may allow for this power level. Additionally, for those requiring a DC output, the implementation of rectifiers for each secondary winding layer is suggested as a viable solution to achieve 10kV DC.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of flyback transformer design principles
  • Knowledge of high-voltage electrical systems
  • Familiarity with rectification techniques for high-voltage outputs
  • Experience with frequency modulation in power electronics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research flyback transformer design specifications for low-power applications
  • Explore high-voltage rectifier options suitable for 10kV outputs
  • Investigate frequency modulation techniques for efficient flyback operation
  • Learn about stray capacitance effects in high-voltage circuits
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, hobbyists in high-voltage electronics, and anyone interested in designing or utilizing low-power flyback transformers for high-voltage applications.

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