Hello,
I have a (cheap) powder coating system and I was thinking I could try and step up the voltage a bit to make it work like one of the more expensive ones. Basically, it uses 110v and converts it to 16Kv to charge particles of paint. I would like to make it variable from about 30Kv to 50Kv or just make it fixed at around 30Kv if that is at all possible.
**broken link removed**
I have not opened it yet, but I am assuming it's got: a few capacitors, coils, a transformer (at least 1), etc. I will try and open it tonight and get some pictures of the board layout/parts already in it.
My question is: What do I need to add/change to step my voltage up that much (about double) efficiently?
