EZ recipe for 1000+ volt B+ ( solid state bridge rectifier)

This is utilizing single components..no sharing resistors...multiple rectifiers etc......

Power transformer- 0-800 volts or 400-0-400 volts( do NOT connect center tap!).. 2x or more current rating. Hammond 300 series has some good choices. Get them form Mouser..better prices.

ASC blue line 1200v capacitors. 10 or 50 uf from Parts Connexion.

IXYS VUE30 Solid State Bridge rectifier.( OHHH HOOROR!!!) 2KV/32 amps from Mouser.

Lundhal chokes. Voltage ratings- 2kv between windings/4kv between windings and core. Different configurations for current requirements.

PSUD modeled anywhere between 1040 and 1080 volts depending on current requirements.

So far..no blow ups or outs. I'm using the above recipe for my current 845 project.
