Hi, In a current project, I'm stuck with what I think is probably simple to solve for experienced people.
If I have say 1000W, 3500V DC output from a fullbridge rectifier, how can I build a very simple device/circuit to utilize all or most available power virtually instantly or very quickly? A short circuit is overkill. A HV lightbulb maybe if one exists. Or a spark gap to earth is that possible? Is there some simple, cheap coil/capacitor type system (or anything else) that can quickly draw and use up the power?
I'm a hobbyist so don't know quite where to start with this part of my project.
Any and all answers appreciated. Except granny responses not needed.
Thanks
