High Voltage Electronnics Book Recommendations
« on: December 26, 2024, 03:00:55 pm »
Hi all,
I'm looking for books about the design of high voltage equipment, specifically on high voltage (1 - 100 kv), low power (<<1kw) switch mode power supplies, HV lab grade equipment, as well as other general HV design considerations. I've had a brief search but mostly what pops up is large high power industrial/grid/generation related, whereas I'm interested in HV for essentially physics and experimental applications.

I've 'played' around with various HV stuff in my time, Tesla coils, neon sign transformers, TV flybacks etc. but now I’m more interested in the design of more 'proper' lab grade equipment and best practices.
I'd be incredibly grateful for any recommendations with regards to books or resources!
Thank you all very much!

I doubt there is a single publication that covers your non-specific requirements. HV lab gear isn't a subject in its own right.
A niche book, if it exists, will cost an arm and a leg too.

You would be better off checking for designs of the actual gear you want to build.
Manafacturers app notes on IGBTS, SCRS and MOSFETs, switches, isolators, connectors etc and insulators are worth reading.
CERN publications (free) are a goldmine of HV ideas and techniques written by the smartest guys in the room.
