The primary disadvantage of this circuit is that stray capacitances are much more significant than with the Dickson multiplier and account for the larger part of the losses in this circuit

What must be the rms voltage rating of the transformer secondary for the voltage doubler that produces an output of 500 v?

The transformer should provide 144-0-144 v to have a no-load voltage of 500 v dc in a voltage-doubler using two diodes.


How voltage doubler works?

The voltage doubler works by charging alternate capacitors on alternate half-cycles. Since the capacitors are in series, the voltage doubles.

How do you get a higher voltage?

Do a web search for "voltage doubler" or "voltage multiplier" and you will find many solutions. For AC, using appropriate diodes and resistors in the proper configuration with a transformer will do the trick. There are "step up" transformers, which have a different number of windings on the primary and secondary coils. For DC circuits, you can obtain low-cost integrated circuits to effectively increase the input voltage. Look up "dc voltage doubler".

How does quaddrupler works?

This concept is too difficult (for me) to describe in words alone. There is a good article in wikipedia.org see 'voltage doubler'. There are several circuits.


How do you amplify DC voltage?

Either electronically through a DC Bus similar to what is used in a Variable Frequency Drive, or through a Voltage doubler where resistors in parallel with a series r off of the p resistor acts as a voltage multiplier. Search for Voltage divider, or DC amplifier.
