Default Re: Bach with sparks!

Now have all the parts for two SSTC's. (bass and treble clefs)
The first one nearly ready for assembly within a small acrylic enclosure.

Piccy shows 1,100 turns secondary with primary. Top load 8 inches dia.
Power supplies mounted on MDF. Two heatsinks for MOSFETS. and a driver board. ( PC fans will be use to cool heatsinks.)

My first attempt at winding the GDT gives waveform shown at 250kHZ with some ringing.
Will put in a ferrite bead to stop that or find better quality toroid to wind it on.

I daresay I may blow something to smithereens on this first trial SSCT but second one should be less explosive ....
...............further up my learning curve by then.
