High Voltage Diodes 5kv

can connect main supply of 240VAC directly to the voltage multiplier circuit?

I have build a voltage multiplier circuit consists of capacitors and diodes to convert AC to DC. Actually i have to get the output voltage of 5kV from the voltage multiplier circuit. Unfortunately, some of capacitors of 300nF and a diode of 1N4007 burn or damage after i connect the circuit directly to main supply of 240VAC. Why this is happen? should i connect a fuse to protect the circuit from high voltage?

What is the rating of the cap?
The diode is rated at 1000 volts.

I don't know what kind of multiplier you have, but a rating of 400v for the cap and 800v for the diode should be good enough. But twice those voltages would give you added margin in case of arcing or to prevent one bad part causing a cascade effect where the all get popped.

It's possible a bad cap or diode could be causing other parts to burn up. The bad part could possibly pass a visual check.

Another possibility is that you are getting arcing from the high voltage end causing parts to be zapped. Voltages this high require very careful layout to avoid this possibility. This would be my guess.

What I would do is get it working with 2 stages, then carefully add one stage at a time. Check all of the parts before use. If you can, don't use any of the older parts, they could have been damaged. When you first turn it on, have the room mostly dark so you can see any arcs. If you do, turn it off, and rearrange the parts to prevent future arcs, and check all of the parts.

Once you get a working stable output of about 800 volts, you can use that to test the parts. Just put a 1M resistor in series and a meter across the diode or cap. The meter should read close to 800 volts.

wikipedia:
While the multiplier can be used to produce thousands of volts of output, the individual components do not need to be rated to withstand the entire voltage range. Each component only needs to be concerned with the relative voltage differences directly across its own terminals and of the components immediately adjacent to it.

Typically a voltage multiplier will be physically arranged like a ladder, so that the progressively increasing voltage potential is not given the opportunity to arc across to the much lower potential sections of the circuit.

Note that some safety margin is needed across the relative range of voltage differences in the multiplier, so that the ladder can survive the shorted failure of at least one diode or capacitor component. Otherwise a single-point shorting failure could successively over-voltage and destroy each next component in the multiplier, potentially destroying the entire multiplier chain.

The Diodes $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Diodes were a Canadian punk/new wave band formed in 1976. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), ActionReaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). One of the first Toronto bands playing that style of music, The Diodes helped foster the scene in the city. Along with manager Ralph Alfonso, The Diodes opened the first Canadian punk nightclub in 1977, called Crash n Burn, where many of the citys punk bands at that time played. The first band to play the club was The Nerves, on a double bill with The Diodes. The club was closed at the end of the summer of 1977 due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building).

Voltage Multiplier $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A voltage multiplier is an electrical circuit that converts AC electrical power from a lower voltage to a higher DC voltage by means of capacitors and diodes combined into a network. Voltage multipliers can be used to generate bias voltages of a few volts or tens of volts or millions of volts for purposes such as highenergy physics experiments and lightning safety testing. The most common type of voltage multiplier is the halfwave series multiplier, also called the Villard cascade (but actually invented by Heinrich Greinacher). Such a circuit is shown opposite.

Voltage Doubler $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A voltage doubler is an electric circuit with an AC input and a DC output of roughly twice the peak input voltage. They are a variety of voltage multiplier circuit and are often, but not always, a single stage of a general form of such circuits. The term is usually applied to circuits consisting of rectifying diodes and capacitors only, other means of doubling voltages are not included.The Villard circuit consists simply of a capacitor and a diode. While it has the great benefit of simplicity, its output has very poor ripple characteristics. Essentially, the circuit is a diode clamp circuit.

The Blue LightEmitting Diodes $114.71 In this book, I have optimized the growth of n and pGaN films, and high quality InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on sapphire (0001) substrate by a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition and have fabricated high brightness InGaN/GaN MQW lightemitting diodes (LEDs) under optimum conditions. To improve quantum efficiency which is generally poor in the conventional rectangularshaped QWs due to spatial indirect recombination induced by internal piezoelectric field, we proposed a possibility of quantum dot (QD) engineering with triangularshaped band structure in the InGaN/GaN QWs. The structural and optical properties of the InGaN/GaN MQWs with different threading dislocation densities were also investigated. The effects of Sidoped nGaN and Mgdoped pGaN layers on the electrical and optical properties of the InGaN/GaN MQW LEDs were investigated and optimized under various growth parameters.

Light-Emitting Diodes (Hardcover) $186.1 Revised and fully up-dated, the second edition of this graduate textbook offers a comprehensive explanation of the technology and physics of LEDs such as infrared, visible-spectrum, ultraviolet, and white LEDs made from III-V semiconductors. Elementary properties such as electrical and optical characteristics are reviewed, followed by the analysis of advanced device structures. With nine additional chapters, the treatment of LEDs has been vastly expanded, including new material on device packaging, reflectors, UV LEDs, III-V nitride materials, solid-state sources for illumination applications, and junction temperature. Radiative and non-radiative recombination dynamics, methods for improving light extraction, high-efficiency and high-power device designs, white-light emitters with wavelength-converting phosphor materials, optical reflectors, and spontaneous recombination in resonant-cavity structures are discussed in detail. With exercises, solutions, and illustrative examples, this textbook will be of interest to scientists and engineers working on LEDs and graduate students in electrical engineering, applied physics, and materials science.
