Voltage multiplier Cockcroft-Walton circuit

Named after the British and Irish physicists John Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton. This circuit design was used to power the particle accelerator. CW multiplier gives an output voltage of more than one million volts and load current of 30 mA.

Generation of High Alternating Voltage

Cascade Transformer. Resonant Transformer.

Tesla coil(for high frequency AC).

Cascade Transformer
Transformers are used in cascade to achieve high voltage rating of range 100kV-1MV. Isolation transformers are used to provide galvanic isolation between stages of step-up transformers.

Tesla coil
High voltages of high frequency are generated.
The secondary voltage ranges between 500 to 1000kV.

The transformer used is air cored and usually immersed in oil.

Generation of Impulse voltage

Multistage Impulse generators-Marx circuit.

Impulse Generator
An IG is an electrical apparatus which produces very short high-voltage or high-current surges. High impulse voltages are used to test the strength of electric power equipment against lightning and switching surges.

Marx multistage Impulse generator

A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx. A number of capacitors are charged in parallel to a given voltage, and then connected in series by spark gap switches. Output voltage= V x N, V=voltage of each stage, N=number of stages.

Electrostatic generators
Van de Graff generator
In electrostatic machines,charged bodies are moved against electrostatic fields,such that mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Van de Graff generators,generate high voltage with low current.

Works on the principle of charge transfer.
