The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.

So you reckon the clues here ares a 350 W battery pack, an inverter, a ZVS, a microcontroller,a ferrite core transformer running from 100KHz to 300KHz and CW multipliers. Such transformer must provide 6187,18 V output and 56mA current stepped up by 8-stage multiplier. Mr. Anders suggested that this is the best way, what do you think guys?
There are some manufactures in India that can provide ferrite core transformers I better contact them and see if they can manufacture a customized one.

There is something wrong-headed, upside-down, and perhaps even bogus about this whole discussion.
The power supply requirements should be dictated by the needs of the application - in this case, a particular X-ray tube approved for dental X-ray diagnostic imaging, and its very particular duty cycle.
Until the needs of the application are specified, all talk about how its particular power requirements might best be met is just bollox.

Ok, attached you will find the xray tube I am using. I have contacted a few ferrite core transformer suppliers and have told them the output and the input I need (6187,18 V output @ 56mA), such transformer is stepped up by 8-stage multiplier, so it should provide 50 kV DC (70kVp at 7mA). Although it says that it operates at 2mA I use 7mA because it offers the best performance and expossure.
I do not know what other specs I should give to the suppliers to manufacture the transformer.

Hope you don't mind me butting in but what is the goal of this project?. Is it for a commercial product or a one-off for your own use?. If it's commercial you'd be far better employing an engineer with understanding of HV - what you need is fairly trivial to an experienced designer.

True, but maybe experts in this forum will help not to start from zero. I am not an expert but all the experience here will cooperate to accomplish the goal. There not many experts in HV design in my country that I can talk to.
