I’m building a system that needs a fairly substantial adjustable power supply curious if anybody know of anything that could handle up to 1.2kV at 2kV?

Needs to run off of 120V 60Hrz AC or 220v 60hrz AC  
Would be awesome if it could take SCPI commands as well.

I learned I don’t need a DC supply… rather a AC, single phase 2.5KV rms… Capable of supplying 3kW power.

I did find some programmable DC supplies more than capable but they cannot produce a AC waveform. High voltage DC supplies are becoming more and more with the advent of electric cars. The power supplies simulate the battery pack to test drive motors and inverters.

Currently it’s a assortment of transformers stepping the voltage up but trying to get away from the transformers.
