| Pirateguy:
how do i chose the caps and diodes for this? i presume the capacitance doesn't matter much but i am wondering about voltage ratings. |
| David Hess:
The series arrangement of the common Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier shown means that the diodes and capacitors only need to be rated for greater than the peak-to-peak input voltage. |
| Pirateguy:
ok lol that changes things considerably. thanks for the help. :) |
| Raj:
i'd say, tripple of input voltge for safety. Even in simple bridge rectifiers,we use overrated diodes and caps |
| Pirateguy:
nevermind, scrapping this idea in favor of a marx generator. :) |
