voltage multiplier
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. :)
