US Patent 10373755 High voltage transformer

A high-voltage transformer is disclosed. The high-voltage transformer includes a transformer core; at least one primary winding wound once or less than once around the transformer core; a secondary winding wound around the transformer core a plurality of times; an input electrically coupled with the primary windings; and an output electrically coupled with the secondary windings that provides a voltage greater than 1,1200 volts. In some embodiments, the high-voltage transformer has a stray inductance of less than 30 nH as measured on the primary side and the transformer has a stray capacitance of less than 100 pF as measured on the secondary side.
