Hello all...... I need a little advice on this powersupply project.
I have almost completed a nice 5000 v 2amp supply using a large
Wilcox transformer with a capacitive filter. 50uf at 7kv.
I found out after construction that the Wilcox transformer requires
a choke input. The circuit breaker trips (25amp) when sending a
cw signal from the radio (occassionaly). I believe the output
impedence
of the power supply is too low, thus causing excessive current . It
appears this happens when the ac cycle is at its peak.
Is there a solution to this problem where I can still retain the 5kv?
I understand that if a choke is installed in the b+ the output will be
.9 of the rectified ac instead of 1.3 times the ac supply volts.
Ideas?
