How precise is a DVM input impedance for high-Z circuit measurements?
I'm building a resistive probe using four 10 megaohms resistors to measure the output of a high impedance (> 2Meg)/high voltage bias supply without loading it too much. The idea is that the jury-...

Feasibility of using LV Split-Core CTs on 6.6 kV Insulated Cables
I have successfully deployed a low-cost, high-accuracy condition-based maintenance system for low-voltage (LV) motors. The system uses split-core CTs and an STM32-based ADC to capture three-phase ...

BJT breakdown voltage VCEV vs VCEO and modes of operation
For my application I need to use a FMMT459 (see the attached table). Its breakdown Vce with open base is 450 V, while its VCEV is 500 V. Am I assuming correctly that VCEV is the breakdown voltage with ...

Understanding the behavior of a voltage-multiplied flyback converter
I'm working on building a low-current high-voltage power supply to run some smaller CRT tubes. The goal of this power supply is 2KV @ 3mA maximum, with a normal load <1mA.
I've made a voltage-...
