DIY Turbopump Controller
... a maximum of 45W of power or 64VA. Given that it also specs that the voltage for each phase of the motor is 150V I've calculated the max current as 64VA/(1.73*150V)=246mA. So with a bit of a safety buffer a 200V supply that can also give up to 300mA of current should be ...

High Voltage Probe
... Over fall reading break I threw together a pcb in KiCad for a high voltage probe. It's nothing too complicated, just the usual string of resistors ... putting it in a piece of pvc tubing filled with parafin wax to improve safety. IMG_1467[1].JPG

Re: Grounding - neutral wire or grounding pin
There are two safety reasons why the grounding pin of every receptacle needs an intentional metallic ... between "hot" conductor and the metal case. 1. Grounding path should keep the case voltage safely low. A 10 ohm or even 1 ohm salted earth connection can't do that. (note ...

Re: Low current, high voltage safety
Thank you all so much, this is exactly what I wanted to know.
I'll be sure to be very safe and if possible find an alternative to a high voltage.

Re: Low current, high voltage safety
Sam Even these little supplies are lethal if used with an output capacitor And by this I mean capacitance such as maybe you using a coax cable ie about 30pf per foot not including the capacitance of the last multiplier output stage to connect with all of these will give a very nasty current spike th...

Re: Low current, high voltage safety
You would not want to grab both leads. While there is probably not enough power to stop your heart, you will get a very big surprise. It will bite and bite you hard because at 5KV, that current will flow through your body and it will not be pleasant.

Re: Low current, high voltage safety
I figure if I put a 14.4 ohm resistor in series with the power supply (12V) and the high voltage generator's input the power would be limited to 10 watts, in case the high voltage generator does not have built in protection.

Low current, high voltage safety
Hi everyone, I'm working on a project necessitating high voltages (4-5kVDC) at comparatively low current (1-2mA). There are these high voltage DC/DC converters (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/XP-Power/F50?qs=w%2Fv1CP2dgqp9eWErQLdwfA%3D%3D) that ...
