1. A high voltage power system comprising:
a power supply;
a plurality of switches electrically coupled with the power supply;
a transformer comprising:
a transformer core;
a primary winding wound around the transformer core, the primary winding electrically coupled with the plurality of switches; and
a secondary winding wound around the transformer core; and
