To: Barrie Smith <barrie@centric.net>
I suggest you purchase a commercial buck boost transformer designed for this
application.
They are commonly available on ebay. It took about a month to purchase one at
a fair price $20. A variac will also do the boost perhaps a 20 amp unit.
Then It will be adjustable. For 220vac a dual gang unit is required. These
cost more. Use of a filament or train transformer is in the older smaller
handbooks in power supplies.

I'd like to increase the output voltage about 10% on a HV plate transformer
using the boost method.
Does anyone know what penalties I may encounter using this proceedure?
Since there's no free lunch, I'm thinking that the voltage regulation will be
similar to what it would be when using a variac. Is that true?
The plate transformer I will be using is 1 amp, CCS. If the boost transformer
is stout, as well, I don't think the regulation will be to bad.
Ideas?
