400KV High Voltage Pulse Generator Module

400KV High Voltage Pulse Generator Module is an epoxy-potted step-up pulse ignition transformer module that converts a low 3V to 6V DC battery input into a high-voltage pulsed arc output up to 400kV. Built around a high-frequency resonant oscillator and a multi-stage Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier encapsulated inside a moisture-resistant cylindrical resin housing, it produces a high-temperature purple electric arc across a 10mm to 20mm discharge gap for electronic igniters, physics demonstrations, and pulsed electrostatic generators.

Key Features:

• High-Voltage Step-Up Output: Boosts a single 3.7V lithium cell or 3V–6V DC source into high-voltage pulse arcs reaching up to 400kV peak open-circuit potential.
• 10mm–20mm Arc Discharge Distance: Generates a continuous rapid sequence of high-temperature plasma arcs capable of igniting paper, alcohol burners, or combustible gases immediately.
• Vacuum Epoxy Potting: Internal high-voltage secondary windings and multiplier diodes are vacuum-encapsulated in insulating epoxy resin to prevent internal corona breakdown.
• Simple Two-Wire DC Input: Color-coded red (+) and green/black (-) low-voltage power leads allow instant hookup to a single 18650 cell through a momentary push-button switch.
• Compact Cylindrical Housing: D-shaped cylindrical body fits easily inside handheld igniter tubes, science demonstration rigs, and pest control enclosures.

Pinout and Wiring:

• Red Wire (IN+): Connect to 3.7V–6V DC positive supply via a high-current momentary push button switch.
• Green / Black Wire (IN-): Connect directly to battery negative (GND).
• Two Thick Output Wires (HV1 / HV2): High-voltage discharge electrodes; fix the stripped wire tips 10mm to 15mm apart before applying input power.

Datasheet Reference:

• Circuit Architecture: High-Frequency Blocking Oscillator + Multi-Stage Cockcroft-Walton HV Multiplier
• Safety Precaution: Never power the module with the HV output wires separated beyond 20mm or shorted together, as excess reflected energy will puncture the internal multiplier diodes.
