Hello all,
I am new to this forum. I am also new to electronic circuits. I am building a high voltage DC circuit for an experimentation project. I have a capacitor bank containing five 400v 470uf capacitors wired in series to give me a 2000 vdc pulse about ten times per second. What I don't know is what size power supply I need for charging the capacitor bank to do what I want it to do. Do I just need a 400 vdc power supply or do I need a 2000 vdc power supply? Any help would be appreciated.
