ROYER SETUP WITH SEPARATE GATE VOLTAGE SOURCE

BACK TO PROJECTS PAGE

I worked these days at an interesting project, a pulsed SSTC, but unfortunately, it didnt work (I guess that the major problem is the primary feedback, maibe the ferrite core for the GDT was not chosen very well..eh). Finally, I got bored and dismantled it. But I remember that I saw a discussion on the HV forum about the possibility of building a Royer oscillator with a separate gate voltage source. This will eliminate the need for high power hot resistors (to get the gate polarising voltage), the zenner-resistor network on the gates, and the high frequency ringing on the gates at high voltage input. I had all the parts in my hands....from the pulsed SSTC so, why not to try? ELECTRICAL SCHEMA

T1, T2: IRFP260N mosfets (200 V, 52A) D1, D2: MUR1100, ultrafast diodes (1000 V, 1 A) D3, D4: MUR3060 ultrafast diodes (600 V, 30 A)...because i had them, you can use lower current ones. C: 6 uF, 600 V polietilene cap DC flyback, primary with 4+4 turns with middle tap L: iron powder toroid with 70-80 turns on it Power: 220V/24 V xfrm
