I just built a charger circuit and capacitor bank for my coil gun. The charger takes 12v dc and charges my cap bank in about 5 seconds. Cap bank is 15 capacitors @ 330uf/450v. The thing charges them so fast I want to build a circuit that can shut the charger off as soon as the caps reach 450V. How would I go about this? I thought of using a comparator with a voltage divider. And the output of the comparator going to a normally on transistor at +12v in point in the charging circuit. Because of the high voltage and current I really don't know how I should wire it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. I included a graphic to show what I am thinking.
