Q/ A three stage Cockroft-Walton generator is supplied by 212.133 V, 50 Hz source via a transformer with turns ratio equals to 2/800. All capacitors have a value of (0.8 μF). The protection current equals to 15 mA. Find the following:
a. Find the output peak voltage that is used for testing without considering the voltage drop.
b. Find the output peak voltage that is used for testing with considering the voltage drop.
c. What is the ripple voltage?
d. If the lowest capacitor is increased to twice its value, what is the output peak voltage that is used for testing with considering the voltage drop.
e. Comparing the results of ( b ) and ( d ) above , do you recommend doubling the value of the lowest capacitor or not?
f. According to the circuit values, is the 3 stages represents the optimum number of stages for this generator?
