In this cockroft – Walton Voltage Multiplier Project, the theory of this method is to build power supply that can generate High Voltage with a Low current. Designing the circuit based on the basic of cockroft Walton circuit that consists of ladder network of capacitor and diodes. The high voltage equipment is required to study the insulation behavior under all conditions, which the apparatus is likely to encounter. Some objectives are to study the fundamental of voltage multiplier such as type, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages before designed a cockroft-walton’s voltage multiplier with 4KV output. the methodology is to study the characteristics of voltage doubler and Tripler circuit compared with cockroft Walton’s voltage multiplier circuit before designing, simulate the designed circuit with simulation program as MULTISIM, PSCAD and other programs and construct the designing circuit to Prove the theoretical value. The result hopefully can be full filed the theory of the cockroft Walton voltage multiplier which is generate High Voltage with a Low current.
