What you may have missed is that we're talking about industrial-strength
Panasonic high voltage inverters... i.e., switching power supplies used
with microwave ovens. Like in the 1500-watt range. Like in 2200V at
something like 700 mils. Not zactly chicken feed  8-)

I must have missed something at the beginning of this thread - 2200
volts is all fine, but I presume the current is very low.  So why do
we care (us amps people)?

Sorry, no idea why a blank email went out. Try again....

There's a piece by VK3HZ on a Panasonic supply from many years ago,
currently to be  found at nasaspaceflight.com, also some
discussions in the archives here.

Google brought a couple of youtube videos:
1. Three wire control signal requirements for the Panasonic Inverter
module.
2. A hacked enclosure and control.
Links:
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vchhc7SLcaw&t=74s
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iX1rkJ53Ck

These things are roughly $60 on ebay, amazon, etc.
Mentioned in the video is 2200V under load. No further detail.
I'm a bit more motivated to dig mine out.
