What's the best way to get a 5.5KVrms (7,777V peak) full-wave AC signal at 60Hz strong enough to drive two 8-stage CW multipliers at 150pF per capacitor?

    \$\begingroup\$ define "best": That term is not clear. Without that definition, your question remains unclear and inanswerable. \$\endgroup\$ Dec 26, 2016 at 8:01

    \$\begingroup\$ @CoryG It's so obviously asking for the same circuit to be powered, it is absurd that you'd complain unqualifiedly instead of highlighting the difference between your two questions. \$\endgroup\$ Dec 26, 2016 at 8:02

    \$\begingroup\$ @CoryG That "absurd" amount of information which makes it vastly different from your previous question is what makes the upvotes and suggestions pour in. \$\endgroup\$

A neon sign transformer driven from a lower than rated voltage.

Unfortunately, two microwave oven transformers (MOTs) back to back in anti-series driven at the rated voltage won't quite give you the voltage you need. MOTs are so agressively designed that there is no scope for increasing the input voltage a little. However, if you increase the input frequency, then the input voltage can be increased pro-rata, a 50% uplift in both could get you where you want to be.

    \$\begingroup\$ @CoryG, I really think you underestimate the work people on here put into commenting on your question, reading the other question, explaining what you need to do to improve the quality, and you outright insult them. I'd kind of recommend not doing something like that if you want to appear to be a decent person. \$\endgroup\$ Dec 26, 2016 at 22:02

    \$\begingroup\$ "Everyone's telling me to improve my question. Everyone must be a bad-tempered, mean-spirited person" certainly sounds a bit narcissistic, especially coming from someone without a single positive-score post. \$\endgroup\$ Dec 26, 2016 at 22:04
