Hello,
I almost completed my HV defibrillator design and received my caps. Aside from protecting the capacitors with high power zener diodes, I would like to put a high voltage high power transient voltage suppressor in paralel with the load in order to protect my circuit from transient voltages that may arise from the various inductive coils that I plan to use for my experiments. There seems to be a deficiency of high voltage high power suppressors, so I would like to know if it's ok to combine several lower voltage transient suppressors in series to obtain the needed clamping voltage. Basically I need a transorb anywhere from 1600V-1800V.
Please help, as I cannot proceed with the project until I have this component.
Thanks
