Hi,
Firstly I special thanks to all of you.
TomJacson69 you are right and I already built one of them approximately 1 years ago. It is very useful and handy products but its testing performance is poor, because of variac mechanical working principles. when adjusting variac some peaks occure on voltage and the test object faild due to the these unwanted peaks. (test object fails because it has varistor and other surge protection compenents) By the way I used my variac based source for testing of high voltage varistors.
So that dc-dc converter is better choice for my application
Actually I didn't remember any practical approaches to dc-dc converters, because there was a long time to my graduate from university.
Thanks again guys.
Hi Lightt,
I found this project may be of your interest:
Copy from the web site:
"The basic circuit described in this document is capable of generating up to 30 kilovolts or more from a low voltage DC source using the flyback (LOPT) transformer salvaged from a B/W or color TV or computer monitor. Typical output with a 12 VDC 2 A power supply or battery will be 12,000 V. Maximum output current at full voltage is typically around 1 to 2 mA. Higher currents are available but the output voltage will drop. At 2 KV, more than 10 mA may be possible depending on your particular flyback transformer input voltage and current.
As you can see from the schematic below, it doesn't get much simpler than this!

This design is derived from a circuit found in: "Build your own working Fiberoptic, Infrared, and Laser Space-Age Projects", Robert E. Iannini, TAB books, 1987, ISBN 0-8306-2724-3. "
Here is the link:
http://members.misty.com/don/hvinvert.htmYou will need to work on the controlling circuit to make it variable power supply. Sometime ago, I have a schematic of high voltage power supply from SORENSON with both voltage-control and current control. I will try to locate this schematic, if I find, I will post a copy here.
The web site above is well worth to take a look.
Good luck,
Tom
