Electrostatic Air Filter

[qwerty]

Hi All,

It has been almost 2 years of Gary pass away but thank to him we are still here toggether and we are still looking Gary's notes even here in Turkey. This is the best heritage can a guy leave to us. My hope god accepts her favors.

 I want to make a electrostatic air filter which published on chemelec.com/Projects/Electrostatic/Electrostatic.htm
First of all i need to find transformer for this project and it seems that it is hard to find  on local shops. Is anyone knows how to supply these transformers or equivalent ones ? And for more information about transformer would be great especially it's code.

Thanks.

Hi, I used google and looked for trigger coil 6kV.
You'll find some there, also this result:

Hi qwerty,

Dante is correct. Google will help you alot!
what you are looking for may be as simple as an old camera flash trigger coil!

Thank you for all of those answers now i learned what should i look for

Now i have been searched a bit and found some interesting transformers but before placing order i should ask about it.

tr.aliexpress.com/item/32661727628.html

Here i have found those transformers on China and they are pretty cheap and comparing to other foreign suppliers , it will easy to get those transformers from China cause of some political bullnuts . But those are 3 pin versions. That means there will be no isolation on secondary side. What do you think about this one ? Can i build filter using 3pins transformers ? Is that safe ? Any ideas ?

I have also found this. This one has 4 pins but it is a bit more expensive than the other.

Please have a look at both parts and tell me which one better for the project. And also , it will be honor to benefit from your experience.

Thanks.

The TC-2504 trigger coil would be your better choice. It has the needed isolated primary
and secondary that is needed for Garys project!
