Hi guys ,
My question is about neon transformers.
If i understand correctly, the older neon HV transformers were basically linear in the sense that they didn't change the frequency of the input signal and just multiplied it.
The newer ones upshift the frequency into the high Khz range from the input 50/60 hz.
I want to get a transformer of the old type and use it as a high voltage ac generator based on the output of my bipolar kepco (100w, 200v p2p) power supply (http://www.kepcopower.com/bop.htm)
Basically i want to work around 50hz but for short periods i am hoping to run it in a higher frequency range : perhaps up to 1-2khz for a minute or so at a time (scientific experiments).
I found this item on ebay, but i am not sure if it is old-school or a new type, i.e. what's the output frequency:

I went to allanson's website, and my intuition is that this is an old school
transformer judging by the size and the weight of it, but i cannot be sure
and don't want to waste 30$ on something i will not use.
Perhaps someone could lend an experts advice ?
If i feed 100v @ 50hz into this thing, will i get 9kv @ 50hz ?
Kind regards,
Lenny
