CRT size vs anode voltage?
 

I need a 10-15KV supply for an electronic air filter.
Thought I'd pick up a free CRT TV and take the anode supply
out.
What's a typical relationship between CRT size and anode voltage?

Alternative sources for free HV supplies at near zero current would
also be helpful. I was surprised I found nothing on ebay.

Thanks, mike

** Have you any idea how a CRT TV even works?

Horizontal deflection and EHT are derived from the same circuit.

Some smaller sets use the PSU as a source for both the above.

Removing the EHT supply is simply not possible.

BTW:

Colour sets have mostly 20kV to 26kV on the tube.

Small B&W sets might be closer to your range.

Yes, I do, thanks for asking.

Horizontal deflection and EHT are derived from the same circuit.

So? I didn't ask for a lesson in TV operation.
I asked for advice on how big a TV to get for 10-15KV.

Methinks you need to be more creative. I'm CERTAIN that I
can saw off the portion of the board containing the flyback transformer
and associated parts to build the supply I need.
I'd just like to start with a transformer/voltage multiplier designed
for the range of voltage I need.

BTW:

Colour sets have mostly 20kV to 26kV on the tube.

Yes, I know smaller sets might be closer.
Just would like to have some idea of how much smaller.
I've already got 5KV supplies. I don't need to acquire
any more free E-waste than necessary.

Thought some TV repair guy might have a rule of thumb on
the tip of his tongue.

I'm still optimistic that someone with more interest in
answering the question than denigrating the questioner
might show up.

There isn't one.


Alternative sources for free HV supplies at near zero current would
also be helpful.

Dunno about free but google cockcroft-walton voltage multiplier.

Don't forget the megohms series resistor.

I was surprised I found nothing on ebay.

Are you saying that a 5" CRT is likely to have the same high voltage
as a 20" CRT?

Folks asking for sources of parts sources should state where they are
located.

The TV (cheap/free) HV section would likely require considerable effort and
additional circuitry to reassemble a working circuit, which would likely
then be iffy as far as reliability and safety issues, especially when
utilizing used parts.

A new HV PSU, often contained in a compact metal enclosure, from a surplus
supplier would be a much better option IMO.

Places like Fair Radio Lima OH may have new surplus HV modules/supplies made
specifically for CRT equipment (not TVs) which may only require a common AC
input voltage, and include a HV lead.

I bought one of these types from Fair Radio years ago, to replace a CRT HV
supply in a large engine analyzer with a 10" CRT.

CRT HV supplies in TVs can be from ~1.5kV for small portables to over 30kV
for large table models.

There are likely new surplus electrostatic HV supplies available from
surplus suppliers.

There are probably numerous DIY plans online for HV supplies for all sorts
of demonstration and experimental purposes.

HV supplies are also used in oil furnaces, and various other types of
commercial/industrial equipment.

That seems too high for a typical plate cleaner. 10 kv will arc at about 1
cm.
5kv seems more reasonable. It's usually easier to find positive supplies.
Is it an ion type cleaner ? I use these for low current.

The down side of an ESP (electrostatic precipitator) is that it
generates oxides of nitrogen and ozone, which rots lungs and rubber
parts. Anything that produces a corona discharge, will also produce
ozone. Most of the complex design of the ESP plates, panels, and
wires, are to minimize ozone production. You might want to borrow or
rent an ozone meter to be sure your contrivance works. The ozone
monitors are not cheap:

How about using an oil burner transformer? IIRC they're about 10KV or
so...

You might want to look at a scope chassis from something like the Tek
2213A/2215A. The power supply and EHT circuit is very simple and could
easily be isolated, its about 14KV. You could probably saw out the power
section.

23 mA is a *lot* of current for this application.
A dangerous lot of current.

I dare say. That is in the power range of dental x-ray machines.
