WTD: HV Xformer
 

One more thing on this. In looking at microwave xformers, I only see
power specified and not a word about voltage. Are they all the same and
what voltage are they?

It is not, no. You can use two out of phase, but that kills your volume
requirements.

Roger but how does one "out of phase" two transformers?

Okay, each transformer has the righthand side of the secondary tied to
ground.

So, you apply AC to the primary, with the hot on the left and the neutral
on the right to one transformer, but the hot on the right and the neutral
on the left to the other transformer. So the polarity is reversed between
the two.

Now you have two outputs, each very high voltage with respect to ground,
but out of phase. This is just like having a center-tapped transformer
of twice the output voltage, but with the center tap grounded.
