Whilst building SSTC No2 I have been experimenting with No1 !
.
In my excitement of having it running I let it run in continuous wave for some minutes.
So stupid of me.
The secondary became extremely hot, not being able to touch it !
Fortunately I noticed this before any harm was done to the windings.
Now running with an interruptor for experiments, set to a short duty cycle.
Secondary only gets warm now.
I have not blown any mosfets, both running cool and no more flash overs so my layout cannot be too bad.
I am very pleased with the results so far after all my efforts.
I haven't yet MIDI modulated it yet. Waiting to get No2 up and running so I can hear all the poly notes in one glorious fanfare.
More anon.
