I had some time to cobble together a DC-DC "transformer" this weekend.
It is a half-bridge running at 200KHz and fixed 96% duty cycle. The
turns ratio is 1:24 and the output is full wave rectified. I'm using
an EDT29 core, I think the material is 3C90.
The rectified AC line was ~160V and the output was ~1800V (I'm using
a Simpson 260 so the voltages are thereabout.)
After running 300 watts though it for two hours the transformer wasn't
near warm. *If I take this further I need to build a real load.
A bucket of distilled water and some magnesium sulfate (epsom salt)
isn't stable when it's boiling.
It's a small transformer and light. *It's not regulated but I think it
could replace a much larger laminated steel transformer.
Takes a rainy day for me to find any motivation for stuff like this.
Maybe after winter arrives I'll build it up properly and try it in
the SB200.

The 300 volts you wanted is on the input side of the power supply, not
what you wanted. This does not mean that the output of the power
supply is not isolated from the mains. The type of switching power
supply you wanted is probably doable. Think about removing the output
transformer from a PC power supply and connecting it back to back with
the transformer in a working power supply. The output could be
rectified and filtered and you would have a cheap to free lightweight
line isolated HV power supply. I am in thr process of trying this. I
not getting much work done on it due to my present work schedule but
in a few weeks things should get back to normal and I will have a
chance to play with my toys some more.
I am just getting in to SMPSs and find it amazing what these things
willl do.
For example I found a a +- 15 volt unit that puts out 100 amps for
each voltage. I can hold the output transformers in my hand, they
couldnt weigh more than a pound each.

Grumpy , when David Smith was testing out the uwave oven power supply
he use a big russian made triode as a dummy load.
Forgot the #, GS 35B or something like that. I was going to get one,
use it for a dummy load now and later build an amp if I dont blow it
up.

should have been GU 35B
