Hi all.
I have an Orcon XPS-16. Looking at the circuit I see there are 2 secondary winding. Sec 1 is the DC for the lamp so is sec 2 the 100volt OC to strike the lamp.
If I remove the Sec 2 could the power supply be used for 6 and 7mm carbons?

The short answer is no the output of a xenon rectifier is typically around 28volts under load a carbon system is typically 48 volts
