Hey OM"
thanks for the heads up, though here in 8 land we are regulated by the Michigan public service commission and they let the electric company deliver to the residential costumer anything from 210VAC to 240VAC. Our hood wasn't designed back in the day to handle all the HVAC systems on our circuits in the hood so needless to say the drop on the high voltage lines is considerable and also produces the same drop getting to 240VAC if were are lucky it'll be 220 and most times it's down to 210 this time of the year.

Alas U discovered my caps won't hold up and I have to re double the amount of capacitors to make a true charge pump.
I need, for a ten stage doubler, 75 pieces of 400wvdc capacitors total.


voltage above 236 VAC.
