Abstract:
1. An electrical system comprising: a first voltage apparatus, having a power input and being configured to supply an AC input voltage; a first voltage multiplier having a second voltage apparatus, having a power input and being configured to supply an AC input voltage; a second voltage multiplier having a first transformer having a primary winding, and a secondary winding; a second transformer having a primary winding, and a secondary winding, the primary winding of the second transformer coupled to the secondary winding of the first transformer to form an inter-transformer coupling; and an AC source configured to supply power to the primary winding of the first transformer, wherein the second voltage multiplier is configured to receive power from the secondary winding of the second transformer; wherein the output of the first voltage multiplier and the output of the second voltage multiplier are electrically connected and wherein the power input of the first voltage apparatus is distinct from the power input of the second voltage apparatus, the output of the first voltage multiplier is a single terminal, the output of the second voltage multiplier is a single terminal, the first voltage multiplier is configured to deliver a DC voltage to the output of the first voltage multiplier, and the second voltage multiplier is configured to deliver a DC voltage to the output of the second voltage multiplier.
