1) So, in a Lionel the primary "flyback" voltage should be about 15.5V peak. Then after a diode drop and limited by the loading of the one-shot pulse detector on the -15V line. This -15V is regulated

Yes I have measured totally unregulated rectified , and no that's not it. 1350 is where I pre regulate the made-from-CDV-700-transformer bias supplies for use in and with shop made testing equipment.

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
Geo, 1) have you ever measured an unregulated HV output , after rectification but without Shunt Regulator loading, of a Vic/Lionel/ENi with a 1G meter? ?Is that the 1300V figure you used earlier? 2)

That tracks with bench measurements gentlemen, I'm seeing full rated V at 1000 M Ohms load and 1 kV DC, but not at 10,000 M Ohms. Now on to the next measurement which requires an electrostatic

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
Ah! Excellent! Down to 1uA with 10uA being comfortably on the curve, and that is a 1/2Watt Zener which is the most common kind I see. I notice the Zener (or Avalanche) voltage increases linearly up to

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
The winding ratio is the square root of the ratio of the inductances, so the secondary (measured with the two primary's open circuit) is probably in the several Henry region....... I did come up with

" Have you ever seen a spec on the windings ratio(s) of the HV transformer for Vic/Lionel/Eni? (OR the inductances, from which the ratios can be calculated?) I tried (over 2yr ago) to measure the

1) Yes, I think so, but 10uA makes me much more comfortable. At 1uA I would expect it is low in the knee. At 10uA I would suspect it is high in the knee. That is all I know about that: suspicions

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
Let's skip that for now. Will a single series Zener, say 100V, operate if the supply is limited to 1 uA by the load resistance? Is there a spec for that? We were talking about the LM431 the other day
