I'm interested and willing to help.<br>

What do you mean by "High voltage"? I'm thinking<br>
anything over 240 VAC (about 360V peak to peak).<br>
Vacuum tubes work with anything from about 60VDC to<br>
500VDC (or so).<br>
440VAC circuits have of close to 700V. Mircrowave<br>
ovens I've seen have transformers that present internal<br>
voltages to something like 800V. Cathode ray tubes use<br>
from 1500VDC to 5000VDC.</blockquote></div></div>
