It's kind of a stretch. I have done this, but never increased the line
voltage more than 10% (on the grounds that most components have at least
a 10% safety factor built in). But keep in mind that your line voltage
may vary quite a lot, and if you start out with a high line voltage one
day, you may get more than you've bargained for.

hi all, I just wanted an opinion I have a DC power supply but I need
3400V for a project.I was looking at using a boost transformer. Antek
have a toroid @ 34V 8 amps. Can the 34V secondary be put in series
with the 240V primary of my main transformer to boost the secondary
HV. I calculate that when rectified and filtered the 34V should get
me about 420V extra DC voltage. Are there any pitfalls to using this
boost transformer method regards Wayne VK4WTN
