Conclusion
ac high voltage can be obtained by:
(a)HV transformers, cascaded
transformers
(b)Series resonance circuit by
variable inductance
(c)Series resonance circuit by
variable frequency supply.
Conclusion
Which one is good ?
(a)Series resonance circuit can be used
for comparatively low HV (kV) and for
capacitive samples.
(b)Transformers (cascaded) are useful for
high HV(MV) and all types of samples
(resistive, inductive, capacitive).
(c)Therefore cascaded transformers is the
best choice, although costly.
