[Amps] Buck Boost

[Barrie Smith]

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?
