Not so much as experience, but some relatively sound advice. Wire insulation withstand comes in voltage ratings, like low voltage 50 V or less, 300 V or less, 600 V or less, 1000 V or less. Select for insulation voltage rating to suit your needs. =20 See NFPA 70 "National Electrical Code" and=20 ANSI/IEEE C2 "National Electrical Safety Code". It also comes in temperature grades which are related to the hottest part of the winding. That location varies a bit due to winding dimensions and core losses with attendant core temperature rise. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_system ?-)

Be aware when using heat dissipating devices in series that a lot of that heat is intended to leave via the end terminations. Which means the end attached to another will not be losing heat as fast as you thought. Two in series we used to dreate a bit something like to 70% of what you can do with one. And for three in series, well the center one is going to get the hottest. To mitigate a bit, we'd use oversized metal pours around the connections. Helped a bit.

At higher voltages you'll find that core loss becomes a more serious factor in rise, as you're tempted to minimize turns and allow increased ripple current. Inductors can be used in series, if off-the-shelf parts look a little fragile, construction-wise. Deconstruct a few and eyeball internal layer and winding/core stress, if in doubt. RL

As a teenager I found that out the hard way with an RF power amp design, tubes. BIG tubes. Used it at higher frequencies, worked, yeehaw! Then ... tzzt ... pop .. pop-pop ... PHSSSST ... *PHOOOF* ... plate current meter briefly pegged ... thwock .. all lights out. It had tripped the mains breaker. After disecting it turned out that the plate choke had completely clumped and welded together, leaving spatters all around it. An amperage smell wafted through the house. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/

That is the correct way to do it with such high voltages. Ask the manufacturer for a statement, preferably in writing. Anything else would IMHO be irresponsible when doing a product design.

It can become a concern if used in other climate zones. Sometimes coating or potting can help. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/

I have used the Bourns SDR0805 for a 15V buck converter with 400VDC input. Upon request, the manufactor has stated that the inductor is good for 600VDC http://www.bourns.com/pdfs/SDR0805.pdf AFAIR, at these voltages you need to be carefull that you will not get corona discharge effects, but at least we didn't see any during the testing.
