A system, comprising:
- an electrostatic spray tool, comprising:
- a cascade system, comprising:
- electrical components comprising:
- an electrical generator, wherein the electrical components are configured to convert an alternating current at a first voltage into a direct current at a second voltage;
- and a transformer comprising a first cross-sectional geometry;
- and a shell comprising an interior having a second cross-sectional geometry comprising a plurality of rounded walls of an upper portion of the shell, wherein the shell is configured to electrically isolate the electrical components, and wherein a first shape of the first cross-sectional geometry of the transformer and a second shape of each rounded wall of the plurality of rounded walls of the interior upper portion of the shell match with one another such that the shell conforms to the transformer wherein the first shape of the first cross-sectional geometry of the transformer and the second shape of each rounded wall of the plurality of rounded walls of the interior upper portion of the shell each comprise a matching radius of curvature.
