| - | Voltage Supplier, offers up to 3000 Volts voltage supply, is used for the Can crusher demonstration and other demonstrations that requires high voltage input. | + | This is a 3kV 20mA power supply. It's used for the [[demonstrations:5_electricity_and_magnetism:5k_electromagnetic_induction:can_crusher:start|can crusher]] demonstration and other demonstrations that require similarly high voltages, but don't need high current. |

| - | 3. While using it to charge up other demo devices, remember to change the limit of supply only one step ahead from the actual reading of the voltage (For example, if you use it for the Can crusher demonstration: After turned on the supplier, turn the limit of the power source to 500 volts, and increase the limit to 1000 volts when the voltage approaches 500 volts. Then turn the limit of the source to 1500 volts when voltage approaches 1000 volts. Follow the same manner until the plates charged to 3000 volts. ) | + | |

| + | * The output of the supplier is at the back. | ||
| + | * Turn on both of the switches to turn the Voltage supplier on. The 'AC On' switch turns on the power supply but leaves the output disconnected. (( Perhaps so that the vacuum tubes can be allowed to warm up without having a dangerous high-voltage source left on.)) | ||
| + | * When using this to charge demonstrations like the can crusher to high voltage, you can speed up the charging process by setting the target voltage only one 500V 'step' ahead of the actual voltage reading. So for instance, if you want to charge something to 3000V, set the supply to 500V to start and move up in 500V increments once the reading approaches the set value, until you reach 3000V. This seems to cut the charging time in half. | ||
