Hi Kevin, I've been (slowly) tinkering together a 3KW switcher. Parts are available that would easily scale the design up to 8KW. The bigger the supply, the more a switcher becomes desireable size & weightwise (The transformer would weigh around 4 lbs. at this level), not sure about cost. :-) 73 & Good morning, Marv WC6W -- PlanerGuy@aol.com wrote: What's the latest on this? I'd heard of one outfit that claimed they'd have a 4KV at 2 amp switching power supply ready for sale 6 months ago, but haven't heard anything about it since. What do you guys think? Are switching HV power supplies going to be the way to go in the near future, or is that just wishful thinking? Anybody have anything in the works along those lines?
