Getting parts shipped to my island takes me about 28 days on average. Thats why I was looking at using the AC stepped up through the MOT and full bridge rectified. But I am not as familiar creating charger circuits so I thought I would ask for opinions :) The LT3750 looks very nice, although it doesn't explicitly say so, will it work up to 450V the datasheet only shows up to 300v in the examples. | |

Let's say the 12 volt power supply is rated at 1 amp. 6800 uF @ 450 volts is nearly 700 J, and will take about a minute to charge. And that's assuming 100% power-in to power-out efficiency which cannot be the case. | |
