Topic summary

The discussion centers on converting a high voltage AC signal of approximately 3000 volts at an unusually high frequency of 31,000 kHz (31 MHz) down to the standard household frequency of 60 Hz. The original poster has a coil-based setup producing multiple 500 V outputs and seeks a method to reduce frequency rather than voltage. The main suggested solution is the use of a cycloconverter, a power electronic device capable of decreasing or increasing AC frequency by controlled rectification and inversion. Questions arise about the feasibility of frequency conversion from such a high radio frequency to 60 Hz, the number of diodes required in a cycloconverter, and the practical challenges involved. The poster has measured voltage with analog testers and damaged multimeters due to high voltage. The discussion highlights the complexity of frequency conversion at such extreme frequencies and the need for specialized power electronics knowledge and equipment.
