Designing a 28V --> 200V power converter

Click For Summary
Designing a circuit to convert 28V DC to 200V with a 20A output requires an inverter capable of handling 4 kW of power. The input current calculation reveals a demand of approximately 142.85 amps, which exceeds typical household electrical capacities. Concerns arise regarding the safety and feasibility of such a high-power project, especially given the OP's apparent lack of experience in high voltage and high power circuits. The discussion emphasizes the risks involved and suggests considering pre-built solutions instead. Due to these safety concerns, the thread has been temporarily closed for moderation.

This topic is too dangerous for you when you have so little electronics experience
I need to design a circuit which takes around 28V of input and outputs the 200v with 20A. Can any one help me.

You need an inverter.
I assume the 28 V is DC, but is the output AC or DC ?
The output will give 20 * 200 = 4 kW.
The input current will be 4000 / 28 = 142.85 amps.
 
What in the world are you building that requires 20 amps and 4 kW of power?? And your input amperage is more than my entire house can pull from the mains! How are you powering the input? You can't just plug this into the wall.

Your input is way above welding machines, and the output is at the level of the mains voltage.
In short: if you have to ask for help, then just don't begin at all.
Buy something ready, but be very careful even with that.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
