#103123 - high voltages Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Before I got into 8051s, HV was my area of expertise.
I've been to many a teslathon; and in fact I have a 15KVA tesla coil system (read 15KVA, not 15Kv) in my garage right now. I always obey the one hand rule, etc. It is more likely I will slip and break my neck in the bathroom, than I will be shocked to death. The reason I wanted to measure the output is because often the flyback or ignition coil will short out internally and output less than they are supposed too; this is especially true with the marx; you never know when that HV kickback is going to fry the flyback, etc. Ultimately, the resistor network is the only thing I can even think of. Some chips have some level of HV protection, around 15kv I believe; but I doubt the Maxim 8051s do... |
