What we need: clean, stable, variable DC at 20V-100V, adjustable (possibly up to 600V).
Consider: using a cheap computer ATX supply feeding a voltage regulator such as an LM317 feeding a DC/DC step-up built on the model introduced in http://www.edn.com/contents/images/70804di.pdf (from http://www.edn.com/article/CA431146.html ).
For $10-$20 , you get plenty of overhead (i.e. 400W max neighborhood), 50/60Hz and 110/220V independence, amp draw regulation (probably? not sure what typical protection is in the low price range), and handy plug-in molex connectors. The last point is particularly salient, if you can power more than one device with a versatile power supply.
- Low cost "brick" supply is available from manufacturers such as GlobTek (Taiwan); '"-- jcline@ieee.org 18:20, 8 January 2009 (EST)"'
- For example, GT(M)21097CC SERIES 50W
- "AC/DC LOW-VOLTAGE SINGLE-OUTPUT, CONSTANT-CURRENT, VOLTAGE-LIMITED SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES(DESKTOP), UNIVERSALINPUT/IEC 320 INPUT RECEPTACLE FOR CONNECTION OF POWER SUPLYCORD SET, INTENDED FOR USE WITHIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYEQUIPMENTAND MEDICALELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT."
- Has Input Voltage 90v-260v @ 47Hz-63Hz (suitable for worldwide use)
- Has Output Voltage +48.0 VDC @ 0 - 1.1 A
- Cost is probably around $20-$30 per unit in low quantities.
I do not know how adding a voltage regulator (LM317 etc) and DC/DC step-ups after these affect their voltage regulating properties.
